Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own ...

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 aging, cancer, ...

A research group led by Drs. Shusuke Tada and Takashi Tsuyama at the Department of Molecular Biology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Toho University, has demonstrated that overexpression of Cdc10 ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

The researchers focused on Fanconi anemia, a rare inherited disorder characterized by a failure to repair specific types of ...

Our DNA is compacted and arranged into chromosomes, most of which are shaped like X’s. The ends of the chromosomes arms are ...
