This framework, which integrates semantic feature learning and chromosome class distribution learning, is designed to ...

Why are the human sex chromosomes called “X” and “Y,” while the other 22 chromosomes are identified only by numbers? The answer begins in the late 1800s, when insect gonad cells, whose large ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

The X chromosome carries at least 150 genes linked to intelligence. Since the mother has two X chromosomes to pass along while the father only has one, the mother’s contribution to the child’s ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

The genetic information within each of these daughter cells is identical. A human cell contains 46 chromosomes. To simplify our illustration, we'll show only four. Though the genetic code of a ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...
