In a study published in Nature, researchers report the successful in vitro reconstitution of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks ...

During meiosis, sister chromatids produced by chromosome duplication are held together by Rec8, a meiosis-specific cohesion protein. Rec8 joins the whole length of the sister chromatids together ...

Most commonly, Klinefelter syndrome occurs due to a process referred to as nondisjunction in the egg or the sperm during meiosis. Meiosis is the process by which genetic material is multiplied and ...

Meiosis is the generation of germ cells (eggs and sperm). In meiosis, DNA replication is followed by two division cycles: meiosis I, which segregates homologous chromosomes and meiosis II, which ...

Researchers led by Prof. TONG Minghan from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, collaborating with Prof. HUANG Ying from Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai ...

Feb. 20, 2025 — Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA ...

A genetic condition is one that happens when a gene changes. Some genetic conditions can be inherited (passed from parents to their children). Genes are sections of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that ...

Eye color is a complex genetic trait determined by pairings of genes passed on from each parent. Scientists once believed eye color was determined by a single gene, but advances in genetic research ...

Does your lifestyle play the biggest role in determining your risk of age-related conditions, or does the influence of your genes dominate? Thanks to the largest study of its kind, we now have our ...

AI Accelerates Discovery of Neurodevelopmental Disorder-Associated Genes Feb. 26, 2025 — Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) approach that accelerates the identification ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers led by Prof. TONG Minghan from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science (Shanghai Institute of ...

This useful study presents findings on the developmental roles of Nup107, a key nucleoporin, in regulating the larval-to-pupal transition in Drosophila melanogaster through its involvement in ecdysone ...
