AI maps fleeting DNA quadruplexes, revealing paired structures that control genes in healthy cells and cancer.

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy production and nucleotide synthesis are taking on unexpected "second jobs" within ...

An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals capable of detecting and responding to physical tension in DNA. This ...

A new study published today in Science Translational Medicine by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

Just one enzyme manages the refilling of the cellular soda machine that replicates our genes. PLK-1 initiates a process in two protein groups, leading to creation of new CENP-A proteins. These CENP-A ...

New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells by co-opting a process used to maintain cellular identity through ...

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...

Rb1 loss may serve as a predictive biomarker to guide new targeted therapies for select breast cancers resistant to standard ...
