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

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA ...

However, unlike other ORC components, the role of human Orc6 in replication remains to be resolved. Here, we identify an unexpected role for hOrc6, which is to promote S-phase progression after pre-RC ...

Unlike most cell types, which continuously divide, neurons have to last for the life of the organism. How do they do that? One way neurons stay healthy is by repairing their DNA as they transcribe it.

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 ...

When the Nanog gene (green region) is inactive, one of the three enhancer regions is spatially far away. When active, the same enhancer region makes close contact, interacting with the other enhancers ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

Researchers at Kyushu University have revealed how spatial distance between specific regions of DNA is linked to bursts of gene activity. Using advanced cell imaging techniques and computer modeling, ...

The mapping of 50,000 mysterious "knots" in the human genome may someday lead to the development of new cancer drugs, researchers say. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
