DLGAP5 is proposed as a causal gene related to oocyte meiosis disorder for the first time. It expanded the current spectrum of pathogenic genes responsible for the phenotype of oocyte maturation and ...

When cells divide, chromosomes need to be evenly segregated between daughter cells. This equal distribution of chromosomes is very important to accurately pass on genetic information to the next ...

The accurate distribution of chromosomes in an oocyte is essential for the correct transmission of genetic information to the next generation. Now, researchers from Kyushu University have demonstrated ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The force for poleward chromosome motion during mitosis is thought to act, in all higher organisms, exclusively through the kinetochore. We ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The oscillations of chromosomes associated with a single spindle pole in monocentric and bipolar spindles were analysed by time-lapse ...

A research team led by Dr Karen Wing Yee YUEN, Associate Professor from the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), revealed the mechanism of artificial chromosome (AC) ...

The cell cycle, the biological process underlying how cells grow and multiply, is tightly regulated to ensure a faithful distribution of genetic material to ‘daughter’ cells. This tight regulation of ...

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

Mitosis is the mechanism by which a eukaryotic cell divides its nucleus and chromosomes to produce two genetically identical ...
