An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...

High-resolution imaging has revealed the internal layout of chromatin condensates, showing how DNA fibers fold and interact ...

They built a cassette tape of DNA big enough to store every song ever recorded. In traditional DNA storage, all the data is mixed together. That’s why it’s so hard to retrieve it. To read one piece of ...

Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

When scientists sequenced the first Neanderthal genomes, they did not just resurrect a lost branch of the human family tree, ...

If your estate plan was created before the DNA testing era—or hasn't been updated to account for these new realities—now is ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

New ultra-detailed imaging exposes the hidden structure and behavior of chromatin condensates — and hints at how their ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both ...
