In contrast, in eukaryotes, all of the cell's chromosomes are stored inside a structure called the nucleus. Each eukaryotic chromosome is composed of DNA coiled and condensed around nuclear ...

Transposons have been found clustered at the chromosome ends in eukaryotic cells, but this is the first time it's been ...

Without centromeres, cells cannot divide properly and the ... With a few exceptions, eukaryotic chromosomes have a single centromere that ensures their accurate segregation during mitosis.

The enormously long genomic DNA molecules in eukaryotic organisms ... dimensions of the chromosomes compacted during mitosis ...

Transposons have been found clustered at the chromosome ends in eukaryotic cells, but this is the first time it's been documented in bacteria with linear chromosomes, and the researchers found ...

Our lab studies the mechanism of eukaryotic chromosome replication. Chromosomes are the carriers of the genetic and epigenetic information and faithful chromosome replication is of fundamental ...

Eukaryotic cells contain a large number of functional sub-units, so-called organelles. They perform important functions within the cell. Some organelles were independent, single-celled organisms ...

The international team has already combined six and a half synthetic chromosomes in a functional cell. It is the first time scientists have written a eukaryotic genome from scratch. Yeasts are a ...
