Eggs and embryos from people with polycystic ovary syndrome have altered patterns of so-called epigenetic tags, which could explain how the condition is inherited ...

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

The cold sore-causing Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) hijacks human cells and reconfigures its DNA within just an hour after ...

It follows a previous report showing that the Werner syndrome protein WRN and its interacting protein WRNIP1 are indispensable for translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) by Y-family DNA polymerases (Pols).

Viruses are entirely dependent on their hosts to reproduce. They ransack living cells for parts and energy and hijack the ...

Experiments with tools designed to detect DNA damage reveal unique and conserved features of telomeres in cancer cells.

Using capillary gel electrophoresis, researchers from the National Institute of Health Sciences in Kanagawa, Japan studied the factors that optimize chain-length distribution analysis of messenger RNA ...

Skoltech researchers have enlisted generative artificial intelligence to complete the missing data on the distances between pairs of genes in DNA. This enables figuring out the 3D architecture of ...

"We have obtained a cryo-electron microscopy structure that captures the state of human Rad51 tightly bound to broken DNA," says co-lead author Luay Joudeh, Microscopy Manager at the Departments ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers at Northwestern University have discovered that strand separation - the essential process a "resting" double helix ...

And like natural language, DNA has a natural structure. The sequences are not random. A lot of structure in natural language is also informal; it can be ambiguous, and it’s changing all the time. In ...
