Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that ...

Researchers have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered ...

The mitochondrial genome of Trypanosoma brucei is uniquely organised as a kinetoplast, a highly complex network composed of thousands of minicircles and a smaller number of maxicircles. This structure ...

Enzymes, which are crucial to controlling how cells replicate in the human body, could be the very ingredient that encourages DNA to spontaneously mutate -- causing potentially permanent genetic ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

DNA, which has a double-helix structure, can have many genetic mutations and variations. Credit: NIH When cells in the human body divide, they must first make accurate copies of their DNA. The DNA ...

DNA isn’t just for labs — you can explore it right at home or in the classroom with simple, hands-on experiments. From extracting strawberry DNA with dish soap to modeling the double helix with beads, ...

Better understanding of the mechanisms involved in DNA repair may pave the way for developing inhibitors to improve the effectiveness of radiation therapy. Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. The publication of two papers ...
