Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells. The research, published ...

Scientists have uncovered a critical role for rapid DNA repair in maintaining genome stability. A new study reveals that ...

This landmark study describes the structure of the human RAD51 filament with a recombination intermediate called the displacement loop (D-loop). Using cryogenic structural, biochemical, and ...

DNA consists of two strands, arranged in a double helix. These strands are made up of subunits called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate, a 5-carbon sugar molecule and a nitrogenous ...

A team of researchers at Columbia, Harvard and University of Minnesota has developed a gene editing technique they say could ...

Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...

A form of DNA with a key role Single-stranded DNA is less common than double-stranded DNA. It is often found in some viruses and plays a key role in certain biological processes, such as cell ...
