A discovery upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. The study show that DNA replication in early embryos is different from what past research has taught, and includes a period of ...

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 that ...

Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell division - a discovery that could lead to new cancer therapies, according ...
