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 ...

A new “DNA atlas” of Ireland is revealing some of the surprising ways historic kingdoms have influenced populations on the island—and it offers the first genetic evidence that Vikings ...

Scientists have uncovered a critical role for rapid DNA repair in maintaining genome stability. A new study reveals that ...

We introduce MADna, a sequence-dependent coarse-grained model of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), where each nucleotide is described by three beads localized at the sugar, at the base moiety, and at the ...

We present a theoretical study of the positive charge transfer in stilbene-linked DNA hairpins containing only AT base pairs using a tight-binding model that includes a description of structural ...

growth rate, and the formation and melting temperatures) are reproduced with high reliability. We think this model is useful to predict the behavior of DNA self-assembly and to design various types of ...

Researchers have analyzed ancient DNA from Borrelia recurrentis, a type of bacteria that causes relapsing fever, pinpointing when it evolved to spread through lice rather than ticks, and how it gained ...
