AI maps fleeting DNA quadruplexes, revealing paired structures that control genes in healthy cells and cancer.

A new study published today in Science Translational Medicine by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

According to a recent study, mitotic chromosomes are coated in a liquid-like coating that could enable them to bounce off one another like dodgem cars, preventing ...

An international team, including researchers from HSE University, has created the first comprehensive map of ...

New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...

Rb1 loss may serve as a predictive biomarker to guide new targeted therapies for select breast cancers resistant to standard ...

The herpesvirus can manipulate our DNA with far more precision than previously thought. The virus condenses and changes the shape of our genetic material to hijack the host genes needed for ...

Cancer’s most catastrophic DNA damage has long looked like a crime scene without a culprit, with chromosomes shattered and reassembled in ways that defy normal biology. Now researchers say they have ...

“The laws of inheritance are quite unknown,” Charles Darwin acknowledged in 1859. The discovery of DNA’s shape altered how we conceived of life itself. The X-ray crystallography by Rosalind Franklin ...

A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings of the UC ...
