Cell division is an essential process by which living organisms grow, replenish lost cells, and regenerate dead and damaged ...

Centromeres hold the arms of chromosomes together and initiate their separation into the daughter cells during cell division.

A team of scientists, including center researchers, is the first to completely determine the sequence in a multicellular organism of a mysterious but essential part of the chromosome called the ...

Cell division is an essential process by which living organisms grow, replenish lost cells, and regenerate dead and damaged tissues. When a parent ...

A newly identified centromeric structure, the CENP-A–H4 octasome, may reveal how chromosomes segregate properly during cell division, report researchers from Japan. Using cryo-electron ...

Blocking microRNA-106a to reactivate silent healthy MECP2 genes reverses symptoms in a mouse model of Rett syndrome.

Researchers led by UC Davis Health scientist Sanchita Bhatnagar have developed a promising gene therapy that could treat Rett syndrome. The therapy works on reactivating healthy but silent genes ...

Led by Ryotaro Hashizume at Mie University, the research team demonstrated that CRISPR can be used to remove the extra copy of chromosome 21 - the fundamental cause of Down syndrome ...
