Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not exactly clear what ...

This study is achieved by Professor Wei Xu’s research team from Agricultural Genomics Institute at Shenzhen, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The research team established mDRIP-seq, a ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka reveal that genetic changes following the loss of heterochromatin can lead to ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break-when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once. Healthy cells can normally fix ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar double helix. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes under certain conditions. One such structure known as a G-quadruplex (G4) looks like a ...
