Chromosome segregation and site-specific recombination are central processes in bacterial cell division and genome maintenance. The orchestration of these events ensures that circular chromosomes are ...

The above representative microscope images showcase ultra-fine bridges, a kind of abnormal link between chromosomes that causes catastrophic genetic instability. These bridges, composed of entangled ...

Koalas suffered a massive population decline that left them with dangerously low genetic diversity. However, new genomic research suggests their rapid rebound may be helping reverse some of that ...

Neil Hunter, a professor in the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, has discovered a crucial step in how chromosomes stay connected during the development for egg cells and sperm, ...

Koalas’ population comeback may be doing more than boosting numbers—it could also be rebuilding their lost genetic diversity.

A team of Chinese researchers led by Prof. GAO Caixia from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed two new genome editing technologies, ...
