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, ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

New research published in Nature Communications has linked a normal cellular process to an accumulation of DNA mutations in ...

mRNA, widely known from the COVID-19 vaccine, is not actually a "therapeutic agent," but a technology that delivers the ...

A new portable DNA test can identify dozens of shark and ray species in only two hours, giving frontline officers a powerful ...

Researchers created a highly efficient gene-editing method that fixes multiple DNA mutations in a single step. The breakthrough could revolutionize genetic medicine by making treatments for complex ...
