Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing ...

During animal development, cells divide and arrange themselves in a coordinated way, eventually forming the embryo. The cells ...

An international research team led by the IPK Leibniz Institute has uncovered the molecular mechanisms governing the ...

The remaining chromosomes were not measured because of their very small size, being considered microchromosomes. Karyotypes were arranged according to chromosome size and centromere position.

The genome sequences of Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster and Arabidopsis thaliana have been predicted to contain 19,000, 13,600 and 25,500 genes, respectively1,2,3. Before this ...

I decided that I, too, needed to attend the Longwood Area Worm Meeting. Thus began a trip into the world of C. elegans worms and the people who love them. In 25 years as a writer in Boston, I’ve ...

It's been known since at least the 1960s that blood cells tend to lose Y chromosomes as men age, but the fact that this chromosomal disappearing act is associated with a shorter lifespan, higher ...

A computational approach is presented for modeling and quantifying the structure and dynamics of the nematode C. elegans observed by time-lapse microscopy. Worm shape and conformations are expressed ...

Given the previous findings, that Y chromosome loss in cancer cells was problematic in most male tumors, study co-senior authors Simon Knott, PhD, assistant professor of Biomedical Sciences at ...
