Chromosome instability describes the increased probability of acquiring chromosomal aberrations due to defects in processes such as DNA repair, replication ... ubiquitin ligase enable this ...

A team has unearthed new findings about what happens during the minutes and hours after a cell divides, expanding our understanding of human biology -- and potentially leading to better medicines.

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel ...

People genetically susceptible to Huntington's disease often see their movement, mood, and cognition decline slowly over time.

Researchers at deCODE genetics have developed a groundbreaking DNA map, revealing the intricate process of genetic recombination during reproduction. This map highlights areas of DNA that undergo ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during ...

In a study that appears in the journal Cell, scientists from San Francisco-based Gladstone Institutes—including co-first author Megan Ostrowski (left) and senior author Vijay Ramani, ...

High CDC20 expression promotes aneuploid cancer cell sensitivity to spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) inhibition by ...

They applied the new method to more than 1,500 European genomes (a person's complete set of DNA) from people who lived primarily during the first millennium AD (year 1 to 1000), encompassing the ...

Americans with European heritage have long been able to pinpoint their ancestry through DNA testing, but it's only in recent years that those with African heritage have been able to trace their ...
