Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland, Aalto University and the University of Oulu have developed a new ...

New research predicts the location of DNA sequences that can form structures besides the canonical double helix — non-B DNA — in the recently released telomere-to-telomere genomes of the great apes, ...

Certain DNA sequences can form structures other than the canonical double helix. These alternative DNA conformations—referred ...

A key feature of cancer cells is their forced proliferation, which causes a hasty uncontrolled start of DNA replication. To date, however, little is known about the mechanisms that control the start ...

This study provides valuable findings on the role of site-specific DNA methylation changes during spermatogenesis and their contribution to paternal epigenetic inheritance. The study proposes that ...

These essential enzymes maintain genome integrity and play a vital role in DNA replication and repair across all living organisms. By forming phosphodiester bonds, it ensures the seamless connection ...

Although humans share more than 99.9 percent of their DNA, small genetic variations can affect how our bodies function. Since the first humans evolved in Africa, populations that stayed on the ...

That’s where the new study comes in. The researchers discovered that RAD52 protects stalled DNA replication forks, a process critical to cancer cell survival. Using high-powered, custom-built ...

To remedy this, local researchers are using a new class of DNA-based tracers to map the flow path of the aquifer. The tracers will be capsules made of environmentally safe material to ensure ...
