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

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

A research group has demonstrated that overexpression of Cdc10-dependent transcript 1 (CDT1), a key regulator of DNA ...

It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend.Biology has its own version. Cornell ...

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 ...

The researchers focused on Fanconi anemia, a rare inherited disorder characterized by a failure to repair specific types of ...

A new study has revealed a crucial link between the TUG1 gene and the ability of cancer cells to proliferate under high-stress conditions. Targeting this gene with a new therapy suppressed tumor ...

Research revealed how bacteriophages use a tiny piece of genetic material to hijack bacterial cells and make more copies of themselves.

Excision BioTherapeutics has so far released positive safety data from the first 3 participants living with HIV-1, with no evidence of vector shedding in sexual organ tissue. A cure for HIV-1 becomes ...

Our DNA is compacted and arranged into chromosomes, most of which are shaped like X’s. The ends of the chromosomes arms are ...
