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 ...

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

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 ...

If your parents have high blood pressure—also called hypertension—you have an increased risk of also developing high blood pressure. Familial hypertension can be genetic, meaning you can get a gene ...

Enhancing clinical decision-making for CNVs of uncertain significance in neurodevelopmental disorders: the relevance (or uselessness) of scoring and segregating ...
