The double ring, spool-like structure of RAD52 protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. A study led by the University of ...

A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. This new structural and ...

Researchers from the University of Iowa have unveiled the structure of a protein that plays a key role in protecting DNA ...

This genetic reunion, occurring roughly 300,000 years ago, resulted in one group contributing 80% of modern human DNA, while the other provided the remaining 20%. These findings suggest human ...

A new study suggests that severe trauma, like that experienced in war, can leave epigenetic “scars” on DNA that endures for generations. In the early 1980s, the Syrian regime carried out a ...

All modern humans share DNA from two ancient populations that split 1.5 million years ago and reunited through interbreeding about 300,000 years ago. The genetic mixture is approximately 80% from one ...
