A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study. In a new paper published in Nature Communications, an ...

A new discovery offers hope for Huntington’s disease. This discovery provides hope that a DNA repair process may help slow or stop disease progression. Research has identified a critical DNA repair ...

A new artificial intelligence model can predict how different proteins may bind to DNA. A new artificial intelligence model developed by USC researchers and published in Nature Methods can predict how ...

At birth, people who carry a string of more than 40 CAG repeats within the first exon of the huntingtin gene are all but destined to develop Huntington’s disease. Yet, recent studies are converging on ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

In the early 1980s, David Gilmour, now an emeritus biochemistry and molecular biology professor at Pennsylvania State University, joined the laboratory of geneticist and biochemist John Lis as a ...

These sequences are extremely prone to mutations and rank among the most functionally important regions in the entire human ...
