An epigenetic sensor uses a 21st amino acid to illuminate protein dynamics in real time to observe changes within cells.

Bowhead whales can live over 200 years thanks to a protein that helps their cells repair DNA damage efficiently.

DNA can be damaged by normal cellular processes as well as external factors such as UV radiation and chemicals. Such damage can lead to breaks in the DNA strand. If DNA damage is not properly repaired ...

In 1986, I was trying to identify a RecA-related protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae whose abundance increased in response to DNA damage. I expected a recombinase but when I cloned the gene, it ...

A research team from the University of California, Irvine has revealed a previously unknown mechanism that triggers an inflammatory immune response in cells when their DNA is damaged. This discovery ...

A team of scientists at the University of Seville has identified an essential process that protects DNA integrity in reproductive cells, providing new clues about how organisms avoid genetic defects ...

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Genialis, the RNA biomarker company, today announced an extension of its collaboration with Debiopharm, a Swiss-based global biopharmaceutical company, to develop a predictive ...

RNA Polymerase (shown in blue) moves across a template strand of DNA (shown in purple) and transcribes it into RNA (shown in red). But DNA damage blocks the RNA polymerase, causing it to stall and ...

Scientists at Caltech have developed a technique using DNA origami that could pave the way for affordable, reusable biomarker ...
