Researchers have discovered how the protein XPD detects severe DNA damage and controls its repair. The XPD protein is a central component of our body's own "DNA repair team," known as nucleotide ...

It’s the most famous corkscrew in history. Now an electron microscope has captured the famous Watson-Crick double helix in all its glory, by imaging threads of DNA resting on a silicon bed of nails.

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

CRISPR is a powerful DNA-editing tool that has underpinned huge advancements in human health care in the last decade. It is a ...

An international team led by researchers from the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, has used advanced electron microscopy technologies to capture key cellular mechanisms of stress ...
