Learn more about a new experimental procedure that uses cancer cells’ DNA repair system against itself to make drug-resistant ...

Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

USC Dornsife researchers discover that “condensates” formed by the protein Nup98 help cells avoid catastrophic errors when repairing breaks in tightly packed DNA, a finding with implications for ...

Researchers have captured detailed structural images of a DNA repair process called single-strand annealing, identifying a previously unseen intermediate stage. The study, using a yeast protein ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...

Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a ...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to cause DNA damage, and while that damage may accumulate and eventually lead to diseases like skin cancer, cells also have repair mechanisms that can fix ...
