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

A new forensic process is helping investigators across Oklahoma identify remains in cold cases dating back decades — ...

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

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

Meet the newest (probationary) member of the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner: a cooler-sized gizmo called ANDE, which the agency says will turbocharge the process of identifying John and Jane ...

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

This illustration shows proteins and DNA in the process of DNA repair. RecA proteins (gold) cradle a single-stranded DNA (brown) that searches for homology with a DNA template (purple). The template ...

A DNA repair process, DNA charge transport, has been implicated in some cancers. An electron travels from one protein (blue) to the next (green) and adds to the protein’s iron-sulfur cluster. With the ...

An elegant collaboration between researchers in the UK's two core-funded Medical Research Council Research Institutes, the Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London and the Laboratory of ...

Tampa (BLOOM) – Understanding the intricate process of aging has been a subject of fascination for scientists and researchers. While aging is a natural part of life, recent studies have shed light on ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...
