Ring-shaped extrachromosomal DNA is implicated in many cancers. Rachel Brazil talks to the scientists trying to uncover their ...

Cambridge University researchers have uncovered evidence that two distinct populations of ancient hominins, separated for ...

New findings show that the mitochondria powering our cells also control the ability of a DNA repair protein to suppress the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which causes zombie-like ...

Single-cell transcriptomics has revolutionized the study of cellular diversity and function by enabling gene expression ...

For the Liu Lab, necessity is truly the mother of invention. The researchers were examining how the 3D organization of the genome controls development and needed to image hundreds of RNA molecules in ...

These fragments are then separated and analyzed using radioactive DNA markers to create a unique genetic pattern. This pattern is then compared with the DNA pattern of the alleged parent.

Cosmic rays from a nearby supernova would soon rain down on the unsuspecting cichlids, tearing apart their DNA, causing the fish to mutate and opening the door for myriad viruses to infect their ...

The Pol-theta enzyme (blue) joins two parts of a broken DNA strand (yellow). This process is mutagenic and can give rise to cancer. Credit: Scripps Research A new structural blueprint paves the way ...

A small trial suggests that melatonin supplementation may improve DNA repair in night shift workers by counteracting oxidative damage. Participants taking melatonin showed increased DNA repair during ...

Artificial intelligence can read data stored in DNA strands within 10 minutes rather ... The new approach “streamlines this with AI trained to spot patterns in the noise”, she says.
