Copy number variants (CNVs) arise by homologous recombination (HR) between repeated sequences (recurrent CNVs) or by non-homologous recombination mechanisms that occur throughout the genome (non ...

When Kostas Konstantinidis proved that many bacteria—like plants and animals—are organized into species, he upended a ...

New research reveals that bacteria form species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange within species. This ...

TROP2 expression in small bowel adenocarcinoma: A potential target for novel therapeutic strategies. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2025 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium. This ...

Clinical landscape of cell free DNA alterations in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer treated with targeted therapies.

A study by Georgia Tech researchers finds that bacteria maintain species cohesion through homologous recombination, a form of ...

Australian researchers have found that DNA repair may determine how cancer cells die following radiotherapy in a new study that may help improve cancer treatment and cure rates. To understand how ...

They found that a process called "homologous recombination" plays a major role in keeping microbial species together.

When cancer cells repair their radiotherapy-damaged DNA using "homologous recombination," they die during cell division. This type of death goes unnoticed by the immune system, limiting the ...
