How do we find out which protein works in a particular DNA repair pathway? We know that if a DNA repair gene is mutated, cells become more sensitive to DNA damaging agents. Researchers in the 1960s ...
Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have been studying DNA repair by homologous recombination, where the RecA protein repairs breaks in double-stranded DNA by incorporating a ...
A double-strand break (DSB) is a type of DNA damage where both strands of the DNA helix are cut or broken at the same location, causing a complete discontinuity in the DNA molecule. Unrepaired or ...
