For the first time, scientists have captured the exact moment DNA begins to unravel, shedding light on a fundamental chemical process that enables DNA to serve as the blueprint for life. A recent ...

A research group has demonstrated that overexpression of Cdc10-dependent transcript 1 (CDT1), a key regulator of DNA ...

Scripps Research scientists have discovered how some tumors endure DNA damage, revealing a potential new way to target them. The DNA inside our cells is constantly exposed to damage, and one of the ...

The first 100 bases of many genes show excess mutations, revealing a major genomic weak spot that shapes disease risk and ...

Jyoti Vakhlu [email protected] From laws of inheritance to the molecule of heredity – a journey of scientific ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break-when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once.

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the ...
