Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. The publication of ...

Scientists know that cancer can result from mistakes in DNA repair. But understanding what controls the repair process itself has been a hard nut to crack.

DNA aptamers are powerful molecular tools in biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutics. However, a limited understanding of ...

But a novel technique is allowing us to peer back further than DNA's expiration date in Africa, to answer long-standing ...

Our ability to "read" DNA has made tremendous progress in the past few decades, but the ability to understand and alter the genetic code, that is, to "rewrite" the DNA-encoded instructions, has ...

A researcher has made a discovery that alters our understanding of how the body's DNA repair process works and may lead to new chemotherapy treatments for cancer and other disorders ...

Law was interested in understanding how the pathways that control DNA methylation are regulated not only to control global patterns of methylation but also to enable the regulation of individual ...

Understanding how DNA recombination and repair work could open up ways to make tumors more vulnerable to treatment, or to predict how well patients will fare with a specific treatment. The research ...
