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

Knots are everywhere—from tangled headphones to DNA strands packed inside viruses—but how an isolated filament can knot ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes.

Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to ...

A dissertation study at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) developed two-dimensional fishnet-like structures from DNA ...

“Our lab is generally interested in discovering and characterizing previously unknown or poorly understood factors that are essential for genome maintenance. This is particularly important in the ...

DNA synthesis is going global. The biosecurity rules aren’t keeping up.

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes.

The protein, reverse transcriptase, has become an essential tool for making DNA copies of RNA.

One key component might be RNA, a molecular cousin of DNA found in every form of life on Earth, and now scientists say they ...
