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

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

Scientists have uncovered how DnaA, the master key to DNA replication, opens the door to bacterial growth. This breakthroughpaves the way for new antibiotics to combat the rising tide of antibiotic ...

DNA replication is usually a very precise, templated process, but some enzymes are capable of "doodling," which might lead to ...

Inhibiting RNase H2 increases DNA damage and activates immune responses in triple-negative breast cancer, suggesting a ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...
