An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals ...

High-resolution imaging has revealed the internal layout of chromatin condensates, showing how DNA fibers fold and interact ...

A research group led by Drs. Shusuke Tada and Takashi Tsuyama at the Department of Molecular Biology, Faculty of ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both sides of ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations ...

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of ...
