Biologists have long suspected that aging is not just a slow, inevitable fraying of our cells but a process governed by ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes. Among them, DNA–histone ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes.

A research team at Florida State University's Institute of Molecular Biophysics and Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry ...

Scientists discovered that the protein RPA plays a critical and previously unconfirmed role in stimulating telomerase to ...

By setting up both reactions side by side in a test tube, the team revealed a literal tug-of-war between two DNA-repair pathways acting on the same HTT repeat. Which side wins likely determines ...

Scientists from Kolkata-based Bose Institute have created GlowCas9 -- a CRISPR protein that lights up while performing gene editing -- to help boost treatment of genetic diseases ...

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

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

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 ...

They found that in women ages 20 to 32, about 1 in 5 eggs carried a chromosome error. But after 32, that number started ...
