Researchers have completed the first detailed karyotypic analysis of the stony coral Favites pentagona, mapping four DNA ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a suite of algorithms to automate the counting of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) in chromosomes under the microscope. Conventional ...

Cytogenetic analysis found that two African elephantfish species share the lowest recorded chromosome count in Mormyridae but have markedly different chromosome structures.

A team of scientists studying cell division developed a special light microscopy system and used it to analyze the molecular density of cellular environments. Their results provide a novel insight ...

For decades, technical limitations and entrenched expectations shaped chromosome counts, illustrating how accepted scientific ideas can persist despite conflicting evidence.

The most common cause of spontaneous abortions is chromosome defects, but they can be difficult to detect. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have developed a new method that can make us ...

Scientists were able to identify chromosomes under the microscope as early as the 19th century. But what did it take for them to figure out how important chromosomes really are?

If you look at cells from a human or other mammal under a microscope, you’ll see big fat molecular complexes called chromosomes that contain our DNA. If the cells are from a bird or reptile, you’ll ...

Amber Dance is a freelance writer in Los Angeles, California. Someone has drawn a mascot on the whiteboard in Mitchell Guttman’s molecular-biology laboratory at the California Institute of Technology ...

System schematic for automatic detection of sister chromatid exchanges. Machine learning techniques have been used to develop a set of algorithms that can identify and count SCEs in microscopy images.
