Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication is fundamental to life, yet the precise mechanics of how helicases unwind the genome for replication remain unclear. A recent study published in Nature used ...

The findings, published recently in the journal Science Advances, provides valuable insights into genetic repair mechanisms that could deepen our understanding of human gene evolution. “This DNA ...

An INRS research team has identified a new family of enzymes that can make precise cuts in single-stranded DNA. A few years ...

In their new study, the researchers studied the DNA replication patterns in early embryos. "We discovered differences in the replication mechanisms of maternal and paternal DNA during the initial ...

In the journal Science, they explain that the genes are arranged by function: If they become increasingly important for ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question.

For the first time, Professor Veyrier and his team at INRS have discovered a family of enzymes that can cut specific sequences in single-stranded DNA. These enzymes, called site-specific ...

Researchers have identified a new molecular target for treating pancreatic cancer. Scientists focused on transcription-replication conflicts (TRCs), which occur when the mechanisms responsible for ...

A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they ...

The BRCA2 gene is known to play a crucial role in repairing and stabilizing DNA during cell replication. Mutations in the gene, however, can impair the DNA repair process and increase the risk of ...

Gepotidacin is a new oral antibacterial treatment with the potential to become an alternative option for treating infections.
