Bacterial chromosome segregation is a fundamental process ensuring accurate distribution of genetic material during cell division. Central to this process is the ParABS system, comprising the ...

Studying over 100,000 embryos revealed genetic factors behind chromosome segregation issues that lead to aneuploidy, ...

About 15% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, and many other conceptions do not survive past the very early stages of ...

Advancements in genome sequencing have challenged the long-standing belief that the position of the centromere in the chromosome is fixed. Researchers from Okayama University, Japan, have analyzed ...

The findings shed new light on human reproduction and suggest pathways for developing treatments to lower the risk of ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

During sexual reproduction, haploid gametes (i.e. eggs and sperm) are generated from diploid precursors through the specialized cell division of meiosis. Meiosis reduces ploidy by following one round ...

Cancer doesn’t evolve by pure chaos. Scientists have developed a powerful new method that reveals the hidden rules guiding how cancer cells gain and lose whole chromosomes—massive genetic shifts that ...

A research team from The University of Osaka, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has uncovered a new molecular mechanism underlying chromosome alignment during cell ...

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a new way to predict how cancer cells evolve by gaining and losing whole ...
