Scientists detail how chromosomes reorganize after cell division
Researchers have discovered key mechanisms and structural details of a fundamental biological process–how a cell nucleus and its chromosomal material reorganizes itself after cell division. The new findings in chromosomes architecture and function may offer important insights into human health and disease. “During mitosis, as a cell divides into two daughter cells, virtually all the genes are temporarily turned off,…
