An international research collaboration has uncovered a new mechanism of the crosstalk between microtubules and actin cytoskeleton during cell division and revealed unique characteristics of the ...

Since the 1 920s, when researchers began to study chromosomes, the analysis of human chromosomes has presented a particularly tough technological challenge, simply because there are so many of them.

Recent advances in neural network methodologies have revolutionised the analysis and classification of chromosome images, streamlining traditionally labour‐intensive processes in cytogenetics. Modern ...

The Cytogenetics Laboratory performs chromosome analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) on cells prepared from a wide variety of ...

Karyotype analysis includes complete chromosome analysis of at least twenty metaphases with at least two cut karyotypes. The presence or absence of an acquired clonal chromosomal abnormality may aid ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, working with the University of Oxford, University of York, and Oxford Archaeology, have developed a new technique to measure the number of chromosomes in ...

In female mammals, one of the two X chromosomes is usually inactive and forms the so-called Barr body. The image shows a cell nucleus with the Barr body marked in green. Unlike men, who carry one X ...

The Y chromosome is among the smallest in the human body and carries the fewest genes. Researchers are paying renewed attention to its role in cancer—specifically, what happens when it vanishes.

The biological necessity of the Y chromosome is undergoing a fundamental reassessment as evidence confirms its disappearance ...
