In contrast, in eukaryotes, all of the cell's chromosomes are stored inside a structure called the nucleus. Each eukaryotic chromosome is composed of DNA coiled and condensed around nuclear ...

The diagram shows the relationship between the cell, its nucleus, the chromosomes in the nucleus, and genes. The order that these bases are found in the genes determines the order of the amino ...

Live imaging of embryos at different stages. Chromosomes are labeled in magenta. 4-cell sister blastomeres are shown, along with 3D-reconstructed images of 2-to-4-cell and 4-to-8-cell divisions.

How are these unique sex chromosomes formed? "The sex of a somatic cell as highly differentiated ... The difference in nuclear structure between neurones of adult male and female cats rests ...

and segregation to daughter cells. Chromosomes can be considered as self-organized liquid crystals Nucleosomes are repetitive building blocks introduced in the monotonous linear structure of ...

In mammals, female (XX) and male (XY) cells exhibit sex chromosome dimorphism. To achieve dosage compensation of X-linked ...

A centromere is a specialized location in the DNA that functions as the control center of cell division and is maintained, unchanged, across generations of cells. It is characterized by a special ...

This process is initiated and maintained by expression of Xist RNA, a long noncoding RNA molecule, from the inactive X chromosome. Previous work from the Anguera Lab showed that unstimulated T cells ...
