Scientists at BAS have developed an innovative method that reveals the movement of chromosomes with unprecedented accuracy

The paper has received outstanding recognition - it has been selected for the cover of the April issue (2025) of the Nature Cell Biology journal. An all-Bulgarian research team from the “Acad. Roumen Tsanev” Institute of Molecular Biology at BAS published an article in the Nature Cell Biology journal on 14 April 2025. The authors of the study are Rumen Stamatov, Sonya Uzunova, Yoana Kicheva, Maria Karaboeva and Tavian Blagoev, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Stoyno Stoynov. The team overcomes long-standing methodological challenges in the study of chromosome dynamics during mitosis, a key process in cell division. Over the course of more than four years, scientists developed an innovative method called FAST CHIMP (Facilitated Segmentation and Tracking of Chromosomes in Mitosis Pipeline). [...]
