Inheriting a normal and intact number of chromosomes in germ cells, egg and sperm, is essential for the preservation of all species. With increasing age, the risk of the egg cell not inheriting the ...
Starting as a single cell, organisms undergo millions of generations of divisions to ultimately generate the bones, heart, brain and other components that make up a living being. The mainspring within ...

A long-standing mystery in plant evolution has now been brought into sharper focus. Using chromosome-specific painting, researchers traced how chromosome number changed within the genus Medicago, ...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) occurs as a result of genetic changes on the X chromosome. If someone has a gene change that can cause DMD, their children may inherit that change. DMD is a ...

Cell biologists have found a key clue in the mystery of how chromosomes are inherited correctly every time a cell divides. Using a novel cell probe, they unraveled how a 'matchmaker' molecule stops ...
