How do we find out which protein works in a particular DNA repair pathway? We know that if a DNA repair gene is mutated, cells become more sensitive to DNA damaging agents. Researchers in the 1960s ...

Scientists at Stanford University have discovered that DRT3, a unique defense system found in bacteria, creates DNA to ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that ...

A double-strand break (DSB) is a type of DNA damage where both strands of the DNA helix are cut or broken at the same location, causing a complete discontinuity in the DNA molecule. Unrepaired or ...

A new prime assembly technique inserts DNA segments up to 11,000 base pairs into the genome, enabling correction of thousands ...

Serif Biomedicines has emerged from stealth with $50 million in start-up funding. The new firm is developing what it calls ...

A cancer drug target already being investigated in clinical trials turns out to be doing something even more consequential than researchers realized. Scientists at Scripps Research have discovered ...

Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...

Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a ...

Delve into the field of PARP inhibitors, a class that has gained traction in ovarian, breast, and prostate cancers.
