LATELY, the property of the bacterial products in causing chromosome breakage has been worked out by certain authors1–5. Such results have been taken to indicate the mutagenic property of the ...

Preliminary observations of apparent dicentric chromosome breakage during anaphase initiated the widely held view that dicentrics cannot survive mitosis intact. Given relatively weak mitotic spindle ...

THE variation of the frequency of chromosomal aberrations as a function of radiation dose-rate has been the subject of numerous experimental investigations, and the results of such studies have ...

They found that sometime since the creeping vole split from its closest relatives, it lost its Y chromosome. The steps that it took to make that happen are still mysterious, Campbell said, but the ...
