Environmental DNA harvested from the ocean, land and air can help scientists monitor wildlife. The challenge is figuring out how to interpret this eDNA.
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 ...
The findings also revealed that DNA can be repaired by cooperation between repair proteins. These proteins organize themselves into "hubs," where multiple damaged DNA regions come together. These ...
DNA repair is inaccurate leading to faster cell death. The secret to cellular youth may depend on keeping the nucleolus—a condensed structure inside the nucleus of a cell—small, according to ...
Chromatin is a flexibly joined chain of nucleosomes that exists inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and has been described as a 'bead on a string'. Chromatin organization strengthens DNA for ...
