A UAB research group has described the positioning of chromosomes during the formation of spermatozoa and has verified its relation with gene activity and the release of the paternal genome during fer...
Alterations in the separation of chromosomes during cell division (mitosis) cause a morphology in the cell nucleus that could help researchers identify the cells that show chromosomic instability. Thi...
Since the emergence of molecular genetics more than fifty years ago, scientists have tried to isolate haploid mammalian cells, that is, cells with half the number of chromosomes contained in somatic c...
Aneuploid cells—that is to say those with an abnormal number of chromosomes—are found in most human tumours. A study conducted at IRB Barcelona on the fly Drosophila reveals how surviving aneuploi...
