Researchers identified a new mechanism in the DNA damage response involving the long non-coding RNA NEAT1. Increased NEAT1 ...

Genome instability can cause numerous diseases. Cells have effective DNA repair mechanisms at their disposal. A research team has now gained new insights into the DNA damage response.

To find RNA viruses hiding in genomic “dark matter,” researchers took advantage of one thing they all have in common: the RNA polymerase enzyme.

The genome inside each of our cells is modeled by tension and torsion—due in part to the activity of proteins that compact, ...

With the preformed DNA added, the researchers noticed something approaching natural selection, which could explain how simple ...

When cells divide there is a substantial risk of genetic harm After all the cell must repeat its whole genetic material including billions of genetic letter ...
