A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how ...

The problem of cell type became clear to genome biologist Jason Buenrostro in 2013. He was studying a cell line derived from someone with cancer, trying to map out how the DNA was arranged in the ...

Scientists from Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine have achieved the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and ...

In summary, repeated head impacts may trigger inflammation in the brain, which can promote the accumulation of DNA mutations ...

During sepsis, cell-free DNA concentration spikes in the bloodstream. Information embedded in this DNA can help reveal sepsis ...

“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 ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell division—a discovery that could lead to new cancer therapies, according to ...

Scientists have extracted the oldest RNA molecules out of a woolly mammoth, gaining a snapshot into the processes at work in ...
