An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals ...

Cancer isn't just about broken genes-it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off neighborhoods from essential services.

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

Researchers at Duke University used CRISPR technologies to discover previously unannotated stretches of DNA in the 'dark genome' that are responsible ...

The cost of decoding our genetic makeup has plummeted. Just because it’s affordable doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worth doing ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...

Using lung cancer biospecimens from the Sherlock-Lung study, an international team led by National Institutes of Health (NIH) ...
