Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During ...
How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...
Unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) – highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA – cause a process that leads to premature ...
San Diego’s Illumina is the world leader in gene sequencing technology — the ability to read and record DNA. Now, the billion ...
If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...
Researchers have shown that harmful bonds between protein and DNA fuel immune attack in progeria. Pumping up a protein that cuts these bonds could prevent symptoms.
A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as a kind of "traffic controller" on DNA. Without this protein, chaos ensues, ...
Model predicts effect of mutations on sequences up to 1 million base pairs in length and is adept at tackling complex ...
Our genome isn’t as peaceful as it looks—some DNA elements are constantly trying to disrupt it. Scientists studying fruit ...
