A newly discovered molecule disrupts cancer cells’ ability to repair DNA by triggering the breakdown of key proteins. Cancer cells can survive by repairing damage to their DNA—even damage that would ...

Learn more about a new experimental procedure that uses cancer cells’ DNA repair system against itself to make drug-resistant ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

A stretch of DNA can look static on a screen, just long rows of A, T, C and G. But buried in those letters are small changes ...

Precision gene editing is crucial for treating genetic diseases, as it enables targeted correction of specific mutations. A Korean research team has become the first in the world to significantly ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...
