R-loops are structures that form when a strand of RNA (red) forms a stable structure with double-stranded DNA, causing one strand of the DNA to form a loop. R-loops are associated with gene ...
A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and ...

Rethinking how nucleoside supplementation speeds up DNA replication: It's not just about having enough
DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs)—dATP, dTTP, dGTP, and dCTP. Cells constantly need these molecules ...
BK polyomavirus, or BKPyV, is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. There are no effective drugs to treat BKPyV. Research reveals new aspects of BKPyV replication, offering possible drug targets ...
The radiation in space is not great for biological health. Space radiation is known to damage DNA. Many types of human cells have to frequently divide to replace cells that are worn out, old, or ...
In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...
Inaccuracy of DNA replication poses novel health risk The researchers conclude that – combined with the greater radition risk in space – the inaccuracy of DNA replication under microgravity could pose ...
