Information on the sex chromosome content of sperm has been obtained from studies using differential staining methods, sperm karyotyping, and in situ hybridisation. So far each of these techniques has ...

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.

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Scientists have taken a detailed look inside the small, densely packed structure of the inactive X chromosome found in female mammals called the Barr body. Scientists at UMass Medical School, the ...
