When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

The above representative microscope images showcase ultra-fine bridges, a kind of abnormal link between chromosomes that causes catastrophic genetic instability. These bridges, composed of entangled ...

Mitotic chromosome condensation is an essential process for transmitting replicated chromosomes to two daughter cells during cell division. To study the underlying physical principles of this process, ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

The human genetic blueprint is deceptively simple. Our genes are tightly wound into 46 X-shaped structures called chromosomes. Crafted by evolution, they carry DNA and replicate when cells divide, ...
