Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double ...

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), used to treat genetic diseases, can affect how cells repair damage to their DNA. This is ...

The DNA in our cells is constantly damaged, with the most severe being the simultaneous breakage of both strands that compose it. In a study published in Nature Communications, scientists reveal in ...

Houston Methodist scientists have uncovered an unexpected side of a protein best known for its link to brain diseases. The ...

DNA can be damaged by normal cellular processes as well as external factors such as UV radiation and chemicals. Such damage can lead to breaks in the DNA strand. If DNA damage is not properly repaired ...

Researchers have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered ...

New research from the Kind Group at the Hubrecht Institute sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human ...

A recent study in Nature Plants examined the genetic regulation of endosymbiotic gene transfer (EGT) in plants. Researchers found that deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) double-strand break repair (DSBR) ...
