A physically consistent and realistic structural model for DNA organization in chromosomes must be compatible with all the constraints imposed by the observed structural and functional properties ...
Researchers have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice. This research could help us understand why some men don't produce enough ...
The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK Leibniz Institute (IPK) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) ...
The centromere of chromosomes plays a crucial role in cell division. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an international team of researchers has investigated how two crucial proteins ...
The Y chromosome has lost nearly 900 active genes over 166 million years, leaving just 55. Scientists estimate that the remaining genes could disappear in about 11 million years. Platypus Model ...
