Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed "molecular movie" showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level – revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into ...

The “warm” data in the middle, such as your old photos, can take a few seconds to retrieve. Most data is cold, and a lot of ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers report the successful in vitro reconstitution of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) formation. Meiosis, a specialized form of cell division in most ...

2015; Shibuya et al., 2014; Zhang et al., 2017). Although telomeres have ancient evolutionarily conserved roles and conserved DNA sequences, the telomeric double-strand DNA (dsDNA)-binding proteins ...

CtIP is involved in the resection of broken DNA during the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle for repair by recombination. Acting with the MRN complex, it plays a particularly important role in ...
