In a study that appears in the journal Cell, scientists from San Francisco-based Gladstone Institutes—including co-first author Megan Ostrowski (left) and senior author Vijay Ramani, PhD ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...

From the first unzip of the double helix to the final joining of DNA fragments, replication is a carefully coordinated process. Understanding it helps explain how life preserves its genetic code with ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA ...

A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. This new structural and ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered a DNA repair mechanism that advances understanding of how human cells stay healthy, and which could lead to new treatments for cancer and ...
