The combination of a beaver-like body and duck-like bill of the platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is only the first of a long list of strange features on this unique creature. These odd mammals also ...

For many years, scientists have delved into human chromosomes and the DNA they carry, studying the genetic code in each cell ...

Biologists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how the protein NuSAP safeguards tiny structures inside cells called ...

Biologists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how the protein NuSAP safeguards tiny structures inside cells called centrioles, revealing a mechanism linked to developmental ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The proteins that give plants ...

Abstract: The chromosome structure plays a decisive role in the transmission and expression of biological genetic information. Here in, the atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to investigate the ...

ABSTRACT: Based on the number of available sites for adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine on all DNA strands, the information theoretical entropy as well as the configurational entropy of a DNA ...

Two different types of centromeres evolved from a monocentromere, a macro-monocentromere in Cha. luteum and a holocentromere in Chi. japonica. Micrographs show mitotic chromosomes. The centromere is ...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens magnified 15,000 times in an image captured earlier this year with a scanning electron microscope at Iowa State University's Roy J. Carver High Resolution Microscopy Facility ...
