Abnormal chromosomes can present challenges during cell division. A new study shines light on how this dysfunctional process may produce mutational patterns commonly found in cancer cells. Every time ...

During cell division, chromosomes are duplicated and separated so that one copy of each chromosome is inherited by each of the two emerging daughter cells. Correct distribution of chromosomes requires ...

Cancer cells with extra chromosomes depend on those chromosomes for tumor growth, a new Yale study reveals, and eliminating them prevents the cells from forming tumors. The findings, said the ...

Translocations, in genetics, happen when chromosomes break and the pieces attach to other chromosomes. This mixing of genetic material has important results. The resultant chromosomes are lacking in ...

Human disease including cancer arises from disfunction of essential processes within a cell. One essential cellular process is the copying of the genomic DNA—the road map of cells—followed by ...

IBS Center for Genomic Integrity-UNIST Reveals Mechanism of Protein that Terminates Chromosome Replication The participating research team gathered for a photo. Kang Suk-hyun, Research Fellow at the ...

This video segment from NOVA: "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial" reveals how genetic evidence helped to confirm an important component of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection: ...
