Scientists have for the first time used artificial intelligence to design viruses capable of killing harmful bacteria. In a ...

Organelles spit out DNA contaminated with damaging components, leading to the activation of inflammatory enzymes, mouse ...

When a key protein regulator dials down DNA repair mechanisms, our cells accumulate more mutations, which may cause us to age faster ...

For decades, gene-editing science has been limited to making small, precise edits to human DNA, akin to correcting typos in ...

For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can exchange genetic material, in a process called horizontal gene transfer.

When a sperm meets an egg, a lot has to go right for an embryo to develop into a complete organism. One critical step of ...

Every new life begins after a genetic shuffle. When organisms make eggs or sperm, maternal and paternal chromosomes pair up ...

The Chinese mid-to-large SUV market in 2025 can be described as a grand "meat grinder" battle. Statistics show that over 30 ...

Leonardo Gomes de Lima, Ph.D., a postdoctoral associate in the Gerton Lab, led the research. The findings show how these chromosome fusions form, why they remain stable, and how repetitive DNA, once ...

Cell migration in confined environments leads to nuclear envelope rupture, chromatin leakage and genomic instability. This ...

This manuscript reports valuable results on the role of MDC1 and Treacle in DSB repair in rDNA repeats. It has been previously established that MDC1 is replaced by Treacle as the main adaptor in the ...
