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

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 recent study highlights how DNA microarray technology enables high-throughput gene analysis, supporting variation detection, expression ...

Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as ...

A collaborative effort by the Formosa-Jordan lab from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, ...

Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells ...

Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...

Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in ...

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 ...
