A new study conducted by scientists at the University of Sheffield in collaboration with researchers from UT Southwestern ...

How does your body produce millions of antibodies from one genome? New research reveals how two closely related proteins help ...

If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

Newborn mice neurons can snap both DNA strands to migrate, then repair the breaks within a day. The process may be a normal ...

DNA sequencing from bulk or clonal human tissues has shown that genetic mosaicism is common and contributes to both cancer and non-cancerous disorders. However, single-cell resolution is required to ...

Cancer cell death following genotoxic therapy is often attributed to excessive or unrepaired genome damage. However, emerging evidence suggests that the repair of DNA double-strand breaks, rather than ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these mutations cause serious diseases that pass down only through mothers. They ...

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, ...

Could a viral infection you experience today cause mental health disorders for generations of your descendants? Absolutely.

FARGO, N.D.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aldevron, a global leader in the production of DNA, RNA and protein, has launched its latest innovation, Alchemy™ cell-free DNA technology. This revolutionary technology ...
