Cells have to protect the genome, and there are mechanisms in place to repair DNA damage that does arise. But sometimes those mechanisms fail. New research reported in Nature Communications has ...

Bowel cancer cells have the ability to regulate their growth using a genetic on-off switch to maximize their chances of survival, a phenomenon that's been observed for the first time by researchers at ...

Bowhead whales boost DNA repair to live centuries and extend human longevity potential Bowhead whale protein enhances cold‑activated DNA repair and raises prospects for extending human healthspan ...

A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects ...

Error-prone DNA replication and repair may lead to mutations and cancer in individuals who inherit a mutant copy of the BRCA1 gene, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

Error-prone DNA replication and repair may lead to mutations and cancer in individuals who inherit a mutant copy of the BRCA1 gene, according to a new study. The discovery has potential implications ...

The study, titled "Evidence for Improved DNA Repair in Long-Lived Bowhead Whale" , found that whale cells fix DNA breaks with ...

Scientists have recently turned their attention to the DNA of an ancient predator, the shark, in the fight against cancer.

Researchers have developed a novel genome editing technique known as NICER, which results in significantly fewer off-target mutations than CRISPR/Cas9 editing. The technique uses a different type of ...
