One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

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

Deep in coastal mangroves and even inside our own mouths, biologists are finding that DNA does not always sit in a simple ...

It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own ...

Genome-wide studies of fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) suggest that the evolutionary conserved enzyme Pfh1 helicase facilitates DNA synthesis by tracking along with the replication apparatus ...

The researchers focused on Fanconi anemia, a rare inherited disorder characterized by a failure to repair specific types of DNA damage. In this condition, the two strands of DNA literally become stuck ...

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

These sequences are extremely prone to mutations and rank among the most functionally important regions in the entire human ...

Macquarie University researchers have discovered a naturally occurring protein found in human cells plays a powerful role in repairing damaged DNA—the molecule that carries the genetic instructions ...
