The Synthetic Human Genome, or Syn HG, a project launched on June 26th, aims to change that. Funded partly by Wellcome, a ...

Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living cells - using the cells' own components as built-in sensors.

To better understand human cognition, scientists trained a large language model on 10 million psychology experiment questions ...

In the jungles of Southeast Asia, 12-year-old twins lead a band of rebels. My twin sister and I got into trouble a lot, too. 03/01/2000 22:00 UTC Daddy left Mommy for Tommy, or what to do when a ...

Sex chromosomes are the genetic elements that define a person's biological sex. Learn about the XX and XY chromosomes, the sex determination system, and other chromosome combinations.

But meiosis consists of two cell divisions. In the first, each doubled chromosome is paired with its paternal or maternal counterpart, forming a complex of four chromatids. Then one maternal and one ...

Researchers have made a surprising new discovery in the structure of the centromere, a structure that is involved in ensuring that chromosomes are segregated properly when a cell divides. Mistakes ...

To evaluate the function of cohesin and its regulators, classifications of chromosomes based on the positional relationship between sister chromatids are used. Although the analysis has been done ...

New research by the Molodtsov lab, published in Nature, reveals how protein complex cohesin counteracts mechanical forces generated by the mitotic spindle and paves the way for understanding cohesin’s ...

Each of the chromosomes takes on the classic four-armed structure with the centromere in the middle. The arms are called chromatids, the shorter of which is called the "p" arm and the longer arm "q".
