Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest and deadliest infectious diseases we know. It commonly impacts the lungs, but can also ...

The mammalian elongation complex has remained a mystery – until researchers discovered how it controls its speed.

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break-when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once.

Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus ...

The universal features that define genomic regions acting as replication origins remain unclear. In this study, we mapped a set of origins in Trypanosoma brucei using stranded short nascent strand ...

Cedars-Sinai researchers have created TY1, an experimental RNA-based drug that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore injured tissue. The idea came from studying tiny molecular “messages” ...

Nobel laureate David Baker’s latest foundation model can design proteins that interact to any biomolecule for broad biotech applications.

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the ...

New Houston Methodist research has revealed that a protein associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and ...
