Meiosis is a key event for stable sexual reproduction using a unique form of a cell division to generate haploid recombined gametes. It comprises one round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of ...

During cell division, a cell must faithfully duplicate its chromosomes and distribute them equally to both daughter cells. These processes, including the ...

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 ...

Since sister chromatids are identical to each other, recombination with a sister chromatid is expected, in most cases, to be a precise way for repairing DNA damage. Recombination between 2 different ...
