DNA repair: A look inside the cell's 'repair café' Date: November 21, 2024 Source: Hubrecht Institute Summary: New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the ...

New research from the Kind Group sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates ...

Researchers from the Mattiroli group have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself is copied during cell division. They discovered that DNA packaging sends ...

Nov. 22, 2024 — Geneticists have developed a gene drive-based solution to the widespread problem of insecticide resistance. In an effort to protect valuable crops, the researchers created an 'e ...

Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between generations of living things. Present in nearly every living cell, DNA molecules are among the largest molecules known to ...

Researchers have been working on DNA-based data storage for decades, but a new template-based method inspired by our cells’ chemical processes is easy enough for even nonscientists to practice.

The work will be of broad interest to biochemists, cell and genome biologists. DNA methylation at the 5 position of cytosine (5mC) is an ancient epigenetic mark in eukaryotes. The levels of total 5mC ...

A team of researchers led by Stanford University and San Diego-based Boundless Bio have identified an oral small molecule that specifically targets extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) in cancer cells ...

The clever term was coined “to describe the low-grade, chronic inflammation that accumulates in our bodies as we age and ...

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the information-carrying molecule found in all living organisms. In most animal, plant and fungal cells DNA is stored in the nucleus coiled up in thread-like ...
