A new study in Nature Plants reveals that DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR) pathways help prevent gene transfer from ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the G-quadruplex (G4), looks like a knot. These knots can play ...

Disrupting the G-loop cycle causes transcriptome dysregulation and genome instability, revealing key role in cell survival ...

Researchers at Northwestern University found that DNA strand separation may require more force than previously thought when ...

You may have seen it in the news recently: a baby in Pennsylvania with a rare genetic disorder was healed with a personalized ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the ...

The interior of the cell is super crowded with molecules ... of fundamental biochemical processes. "If this affects DNA strand separation, all protein interactions with DNA are also going to ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of ...

The DNA of human cells consists of a sequence of about 3.1 billion building blocks. Cells go to great lengths to maintain the integrity of this vast store of information. They constantly untangle ...

This first-in-the-world approach harnesses autophagy to shift DNA repair toward homologous recombination, boosting precision ...

Cells go to great lengths to maintain the integrity of this vast store of information. They constantly untangle knots in the DNA strand and create new chemical bonds when a strand of DNA breaks ...
