Genome duplication probably gave biodiversity a decisive evolutionary boost. A Chinese-German research team led by Axel Meyer ...
Mitosis has been studied since the early 1880s, to the extent that we now have a detailed, but still incomplete, description of spindle dynamics and mechanics, a sense of potential mechanochemical and ...
Abstract: Metaphase chromosome analysis is one of the primary techniques utilized in cytogenetics. Observations of chromosomal segments or translocations during metaphase can indicate structural ...
A system to enrich yeast in metaphase of mitosis, meiosis I, or meiosis II reveals reduced spindle assembly checkpoint robustness in meiosis I and distinct kinetochore composition and phosphorylation ...
Abstract: Philadelphia chromosome is a specific genetic abnormality, a reciprocal translocation between chromosome 9 and chromosome 22. This abnormality can cause Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML).
In all eukaryotes, a microtubule-based structure known as the spindle is responsible for accurate chromosome segregation during cell division. Spindle assembly and function require localized ...
