Scientists have finally captured footage of the microscopic machinery that allows our cells to copy DNA—a fundamental process ...

Sunburns and aging skin are obvious effects of exposure to harmful UV rays, tobacco smoke and other carcinogens. But the effects aren't just skin deep. Inside the body, DNA is literally being torn ...

a similar approach to making biosensors was developed using a single DNA strand rather than a DNA origami structure. That earlier work was led by Kevin W. Plaxco (Ph.D. '94) of UC Santa Barbara ...

For the first time, scientists have captured the exact moment DNA begins to unravel, shedding light on a fundamental chemical process that enables DNA to serve as the blueprint for life. A recent ...

Researchers at Georgia State University used the Summit supercomputer to study an elaborate molecular pathway called ...

"That matters because once the damaged DNA strand is cleaved, it's vital that the repair process ... Answering those ...

Before this study, Pol-theta’s structure had only been captured ... “Human polymerase θ helicase positions DNA microhomologies for double-strand break repair,” include Yonghong Bai, Brian ...

A first-ever analysis of the whole Greenland shark genome gives researchers a couple of clues to their longevity.

Scientists at Scripps Research have now captured the first detailed images of the DNA repair protein, Pol-theta, in action, revealing the molecular processes responsible for a range of cancers.
