Genes are segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that are located inside every human cell. The DNA inside each cell is tightly coiled in structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a ...

The human Y chromosome, responsible for determining male sex, finally has gotten an end-to-end examination. The Y chromosome is the smallest of the human chromosomes. “In the old time, people thought ...

Bacterial chromosome dynamics and gene regulation are intimately linked through a finely orchestrated interplay between the physical organization of the chromosome and the molecular processes 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, ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...
