The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

B chromosomes manipulate cell division for survival, and new research identifies key genes, including DCR28, involved in this ...

The five phases of mitosis and cell division tightly coordinate the movements of hundreds of proteins. How did early biologists unravel this complex dance of chromosomes? The most obvious ...

a fertilized egg would contain 92 chromosomes and be untenable. Meiosis, a type of cell division specific to reproduction, avoids this by halving the number of chromosomes in a cell. The cell ...

(Cytokinesis describes the division of the rest of the ... it uses meiosis to create egg cells. Others cells in your body contain 46 chromosomes: 23 from your father and 23 from your mother.

Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to ...

My research focuses on the segregation of chromosomes during cell division. Chromosomes are the bodies that contain our DNA and it’s critical that each cell has the correct DNA in the correct quantity ...

Mitosis is a type of cell division which ensures that, when a cell divides, each new cell produced has the same genetic information. Each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. These can be ...

To avoid elimination, many B chromosomes influence cell division in their favour and increase their copy number in the process. This phenomenon is called chromosome drive. The "selfish" B ...
