A unique feature of HR is that it repairs the damage to the DNA in a highly accurate way. In eukaryotic cells (those with a ...

Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, ...

This landmark study describes the structure of the human RAD51 filament with a recombination intermediate called the displacement loop (D-loop). Using cryogenic structural, biochemical, and ...

Researchers uncover how rapid DNA repair protects genomes from internal threats, with implications for cancer biology.

Researchers have identified how variations in a gene called TRIO can influence brain functions and result in distinct ...

Galactic bones, filaments of radio-wave-emitting particles, run through our galaxy, and one of them has a fracture. New ...

Find more information on the Altmetric Attention Score and how the score is calculated. The assembly, structure, and stability of DNA nanocages with the shape of truncated octahedra have been studied.

Genetic mutations occur everyday in our cells, but the vast majority of them are repaired. New research finds DNA repair is not on PAR in HD cells, causing mutations to build up in people with HD.

Find more information on the Altmetric Attention Score and how the score is calculated. It has now been nearly two decades since the first solution structures of DNA duplexes covalently damaged by ...

The resulting structure is knitted together by a few hundred short, synthetic DNA molecules that act as staples, linking together the helices at appropriately spaced strand-exchange points.

Arctic sea ice extent through most of April changed very little. Only at the end of the month did extent begin to decline. Because the month started with unusually low extent, however, the average ...

In a healthy person, hubs coordinate normal physiological processes like embryonic ... of 3D hubs aren’t caused by obvious genetic mutations like broken, amplified, or rearranged DNA. Instead, they ...
