A double-strand DNA break (DSB) occurs or arises when both strands of the DNA duplex are severed, often as the result of ionizing radiation. They are particularly deleterious as the DNA ends can ...

The following is a summary of “Faulty Gap Filling in Nucleotide Excision Repair Leads to Double-Strand Break Formation in ...

APOBEC enzymes, which normally help fight viral infections by mutating viral DNA, cause repeat expansions and are unusually ...

Researchers at Tufts University revealed a possible molecular mechanism explaining how the DNA repeats are broken and then expanded in the Huntington’s disease gene, pointing to a component of the ...

People genetically susceptible to Huntington's disease often see their movement, mood, and cognition decline slowly over time.

This new tool, known as minimal, versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT), combines the powers of gene editing, ...
