DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...
The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break-when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once.
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest and deadliest infectious diseases we know. It commonly impacts the lungs, but can also affect other areas of the body like the spine, brain or kidneys.
Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the ...
An investigation into cellular components in bacteria has unexpectedly uncovered a feature with relevance across many life ...
New ultra-detailed imaging exposes the hidden structure and behavior of chromatin condensates — and hints at how their ...
When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...
The process of independently repeating earlier studies—by interrogating the same research questions, and employing the same or similar methods and data—is broadly considered the cornerstone of science ...
