REPAIRome specifically addresses the repair of one of the most serious types of DNA damage, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).

Researchers say the catalog has already led to the identification of genetic mechanisms involved in kidney cancer and will ...

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 ...

In tissue biopsies, cancer cells are frequently observed to have nuclei (the cell's genetic information storage) that are ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

In tissue biopsies, cancer cells are frequently observed to have nuclei (the cell's genetic information storage) larger than normal.
