Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that ...

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

Enzymes, which are crucial to controlling how cells replicate in the human body, could be the very ingredient that encourages DNA to spontaneously mutate -- causing potentially permanent genetic ...

The mitochondrial genome of Trypanosoma brucei is uniquely organised as a kinetoplast, a highly complex network composed of thousands of minicircles and a smaller number of maxicircles. This structure ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

“Our lab is generally interested in discovering and characterizing previously unknown or poorly understood factors that are essential for genome maintenance. This is particularly important in the ...

Better understanding of the mechanisms involved in DNA repair may pave the way for developing inhibitors to improve the effectiveness of radiation therapy. Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a ...

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. The publication of two papers ...
