Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. The publication of two papers ...

Cohesin is a ring-shaped protein that surrounds and moves around the DNA molecule, forming the loops. It is a crucial process for the cell. Understanding how cohesin works has been one of the ...

Researchers have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered ...

In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, a DNA-based computer that performs effectively has been created by scientists. This innovative breakthrough promises to redefine the boundaries of ...

An international collaboration steered by David Cortez, Richard N. Armstrong, Ph.D. Chair for Innovation in Biochemistry, explored how cells tolerate DNA damage and genome instability—and they arrived ...

A 'ground-breaking' study on so-called 'junk DNA' has potentially unlocked new insights into neurological disorders and ageing, as well as cancer and other diseases. The experimental study, led by the ...

Google DeepMind has revealed a new artificial intelligence system, AlphaGenome, which, the researchers say, could help scientists better interpret the human genome and understand how genetic changes ...

Enzymes, which are crucial to controlling how cells replicate in the human body, could be the very ingredient that encourages DNA to spontaneously mutate -- causing potentially permanent genetic ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered a DNA repair mechanism that advances understanding of how human cells stay healthy, and which could lead to new treatments for cancer and ...

Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic micrometers-about a millionth of a milliliter. The cell manages this by ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how a common virus linked to birth defects and chronic illness manipulates its host's DNA, according to a new study published in Nature Communications.
