The complete assembly of each human chromosome is essential for understanding human biology and evolution. Using complementary long-read sequencing technologies, we complete the first linear assembly ...

Study shows that where broken chromosome pieces sit within the nucleus impacts where they reconnect; reveals new guiding principles for cancer genomics In cancer cells, the process of chromosome ...

One of the challenges of working with ancient DNA samples is that damage accumulates over time, breaking up the structure of the double helix into ever smaller fragments. In the samples we've worked ...

A new method for visualising chromosomes is painting a truer picture of their shape, which is rarely like the X-shaped blob of DNA most of us are familiar with. Scientists at the BBSRC-funded Babraham ...

"Our work is the first to directly test how chromosome structure affects bacterial growth, survival, and ability to cause disease, and it opens the door for similar studies in many other microbes," ...

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 ...
