Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a finding that could reveal ways to inhibit the effects of BRCA1 and BRCA2 ...

A research team has identified the transcription factor C/EBPγ as a novel regulator that simultaneously promotes ...

DNA can be damaged by normal cellular processes as well as external factors such as UV radiation and chemicals. Such damage can lead to breaks in the DNA strand. If DNA damage is not properly repaired ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

The Tardigrade: Tiny, Mighty, and Practically Invincible You’ve probably heard of the tardigrade, that microscopic ...

Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...

Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a finding that could reveal ways to inhibit the effects of BRCA1 and BRCA2 ...

An artificial-intelligence network trained on a vast trove of sequence data is a step towards designing completely new genomes. Scientists today released what they say is the biggest-ever ...

Normally, proteins crystallize because parts of their surfaces happen to stick together through multiple weak chemical interactions. By contrast, Mirkin's team exploited DNA's natural tendency to seek ...
