If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and ...

Tousled-like kinases (TLKs) are conserved serine/threonine kinases that orchestrate chromatin dynamics during DNA replication and repair. These enzymes transiently associate with histone chaperones ...

Translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) is a cellular process that enables the bypass of DNA lesions encountered during DNA replication and is emerging as a primary target of chemotherapy. Among vertebrate ...

Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Medical School have developed a new method called PARTAGE that provides a clearer picture of how the genome is regulated and disrupted in diseases like ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...

Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...

Researchers have used DNA origami, the art of folding DNA into desired structures, to show how an important cell receptor can be activated in a previously unknown way. The result opens new avenues for ...

A blue-and-gray 3D representation of a strand of DNA with other strands floating in the background. Google has officially released its AlphaGenome machine learning model, which can predict the ...

Scientists have discovered that a gene normally considered a DNA-protecting "good guy" can become dangerous when cells make too much of it. The gene, EXO1, acts like molecular scissors that help ...
