By uncovering RNA’s previously unknown function to repair DNA damage, our findings show how RNA may directly contribute to the stability and evolution of the genome. It’s not merely a passive ...

The G-loop acts like a landing pad for additional proteins. These proteins untie the G4 knot, break apart the G-loop and ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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

New research from Max Planck Institute reveals how plants defend their genomes from invasion by chloroplast DNA.

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 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 ...
