Scientists are uncovering a deeper layer of DNA biology—where its shape, stiffness, and 3D organization are just as important as its sequence. New tools are mapping how replication starts, how damage ...

A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...

From decoding DNA replication to engineering synthetic genomes, yeast research is unlocking secrets that impact medicine, biotechnology, and our understanding of life itself. Scientists use ...

New analytical methods developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have increased our ...

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...

Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...

DPY30 acts as an epigenetic regulator to help pancreatic tumors maintain genomic stability Targeting DPY30 triggers immune cell infiltration and sensitizes tumors to immunotherapy DPY30 expression cou ...

Neurons are the anatomical and functional unit of the nervous system, regulating both vital functions and higher functions. Among the very few cells in the body that do not regenerate, these cells ...
