DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell divides—whether to repair damaged tissue, replace old cells, or simply to help the ...

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the molecular "blueprint" carrying the genetic instructions that influence the growth, ...

Combining long-read DNA sequencing with a predictive artificial intelligence model has provided new insights into DNA ...

Scientist have long tried to unlock the secrets of helping people live longer at the cellular level, where aging occurs in ...

In a groundbreaking shift in our understanding of mutations, researchers have discovered types of DNA damage in healthy cells ...

DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell ...

DNA damage can result in the genetic sequence being misread and copied during cell division -- known as DNA replication -- and this introduces permanent mutations that can contribute to the ...

Scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute uncovered DNA damage that can persist for years, evading repair mechanisms and ...

How cells respond to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage is not fully understood. This study uncovers a mechanism of mtDNA ...

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Vancomycin ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means ...
