A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they divide, a key process in keeping cells healthy.

The last few years have provided us with a new level of understanding of how chromosomes are replicated, segregated and read - and how their 3D organisation influences expression of individual genes ...

Researchers from the Weizmann Institute developed a technique to deactivate specific proteins in yeast cells, leaving the cellular system no time to adapt. This allowed the team to observe the ...

Ghosh. “It attaches itself to the host cell’s chromosomes, ensuring it gets separated along with them during division.” The research outlines how yeast, which reproduces by budding ...

Deep within the cells of mice, a genetic arms race is unfolding between X and Y chromosome genes, battling for dominance in sperm. Researchers have now discovered how these gene families compete by ...

Researchers have uncovered the mechanism behind the arms race for mouse X and Y bearing sperm to fertilize an egg.
