Among the major classes of RNAs in the cell, tRNAs remain the most difficult to characterize via deep sequencing approaches, as tRNA structure and nucleotide modifications can each interfere with cDNA ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered how genes on X and Y chromosomes fight for control over sperm, influencing whether more male or female offspring are born—and they’re studying this battle by recreating it ...

This competition, or arms race, is typically hard to observe–except when the genes in question live on the X and Y chromosomes, which determine ... Sly gene families from mouse and putting them into ...

Before division, the yeast cell duplicates its chromosomes, wherein both the mother and daughter cells receive a complete set of genetic material. Similarly, the 2-micron plasmid also duplicates and ...
