Engineered starfish oocytes shape-shift in response to light, may enable the design of synthetic, light-activated cells for ...

Download the CBSE Class 12 Biology Sample Paper 2025 curated by experts for last-minute revision. Based on past exams and key ...

Researchers at the Stowers Institute discovered how selfish genes manipulate inheritance by forming toxic protein clusters. These genes, found in yeast, evolve rapidly to outpace genetic suppression ...

Lurking within the genomes of nearly all species—including plants, fungi, and even humans—are genes that are passed from generation to generation with no clear benefit to the organism. Called "selfish ...

Background: Non-SMC condensin I complex subunit G (NCAPG) is expressed in various human cancers, including gliomas. However, its biological function in glioma remains unclear. The present study was ...

In combination with previous work, we establish Mer2 as a keystone of the DSB machinery by bridging key protein complexes involved in the initiation of meiotic recombination. Using a combination of ...

Meiosis is the basis of sexual reproduction. In female mammals, meiosis of oocytes starts before birth and sustains at the dictyate stage of meiotic prophase I before gonadotropins-induced ovulation ...

The meiotic chromosome axis plays key roles in meiotic chromosome organization and recombination, yet the underlying protein components of this structure are highly diverged. Here, we show that ‘axis ...
