Visualizing and quantifying DNA replication dynamics in living human cells remains challenging. Here, a new super-resolution ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell ...

Researchers at Spain’s CNIO have mapped 20,000 distinct DNA repair “scars,” building the first human REPAIRome. This atlas ...

The human repairome, REPAIRome, will allow researchers around the world to rapidly check out how each of the 20,000 human genes affects DNA repair. Created by researchers at the Spanish National ...

You can always be judged by your scars. This is the idea that sums up one of the new breakthroughs in basic and biomedical research published today in ...

Naked mole-rats are one of nature's most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ...

New work shows that physical folding of the genome to control genes located far away may have been an early evolutionary ...

By examining genomic variation more closely, scientists can now identify new disease connections with greater speed and accuracy. For centuries, scientists have recognized that certain illnesses can ...

The term "natural competence" describes the ability of bacterial cells to uptake DNA molecules and integrate them into their own genome to exchange genetic information between each other. This process ...
