Every second, millions of cells in your body divide in two. In the space of an hour, they duplicate their DNA and grow a web ...

A team of scientists studying cell division developed a special light microscopy system and used it to analyze the molecular density of cellular environments. Their results provide a novel insight ...

As the cell proceeds through the stages of cell division (from left to right: interphase, prometaphase, metaphase, and anaphase), chromosomes become progressively more compact through a combination of ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a suite of algorithms to automate the counting of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) in chromosomes under the microscope. Conventional ...

Sex chromosomes are chromosomes, or packages of DNA, that are found inside the nucleus of all of your cells. There are two different kinds: X and Y, which determine whether you’re biologically male ...

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.
