About 15% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, and many other conceptions do not survive past the very early stages of ...

Bacterial chromosome segregation is a fundamental process ensuring accurate distribution of genetic material during cell division. Central to this process is the ParABS system, comprising the ...

Studying over 100,000 embryos revealed genetic factors behind chromosome segregation issues that lead to aneuploidy, ...

The findings shed new light on human reproduction and suggest pathways for developing treatments to lower the risk of ...

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the University of Copenhagen analyzed over 139,000 embryos and identified variants in key meiosis genes, such as SMC1B, that influence chromosomal ...

During sexual reproduction, haploid gametes (i.e. eggs and sperm) are generated from diploid precursors through the specialized cell division of meiosis. Meiosis reduces ploidy by following one round ...

Advancements in genome sequencing have challenged the long-standing belief that the position of the centromere in the chromosome is fixed. Researchers from Okayama University, Japan, have analyzed ...
