There’s a gene in our DNA that seems to come from an infection by an ancient virus—but no one knows its true purpose
You're walking around right now carrying the genetic fingerprints of infections that happened millions of years ago. Deep ...
A genomic atlas of Nematostella vectensis reveals how primitive animals created multiple cell types millions of years ago, ...
There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...
A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as ...
Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). These little circles of DNA can hitch a ride with ...
Reporting in Nature, scientists have identified a novel process that protects the ends of chromosomes from incorrectly applied DNA repair. Although DNA repair is a crucial mechanism that can protect a ...
A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...
Specially packaged DNA secreted by tumor cells can trigger an immune response that inhibits the metastatic spread of the tumor to the liver, according to a new study. The discovery improves the ...
G4 and R-loop signals at the indicated genomic locus. Both G4s and R-loops accumulate in cells where the resolution of G4 knots is defective (red). Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder.
