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, ...

Meiosis is a specialised form of cell division that produces haploid gametes from diploid progenitor cells, ensuring the maintenance of chromosome number across generations. Central to this process is ...

Prominent changes in higher order chromosome organization occur in parallel with DNA transitions on the molecular level at all stages of the cell cycle. Coordination between these events is critical ...
