你有没有想过这样一个问题：我们的 DNA 每天都在被损伤。真的，每天！紫外线、辐射、化学物质、细胞自身代谢产生的自由基，甚至复制过程中的小错误，都会让 DNA “受伤”。如果把人体比作城市，那 DNA 就是城市的“蓝图档案”，一旦出错，后果 ...

DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...

New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...

DNA has been used for years to store data, but encoding information into the molecule is painstaking work. Now, researchers have drastically sped it up by mimicking a natural biological process that ...

As the rate of humanity’s data creation increases exponentially with the rise of AI, scientists have been interested in DNA as a way to store digital information. After all, DNA is nature’s way of ...

Scientists found that DNA’s phosphate groups can direct chemical reactions to make the correct mirror-image form of drug molecules. This breakthrough simplifies chiral drug production, reducing waste ...

Johnson and Alistar competed as finalists in CU Boulder’s 2025 Lab Venture Challenge where their technology generated much interest from industry leaders. Access to DNA is crucial in many branches of ...

“The laws of inheritance are quite unknown,” Charles Darwin acknowledged in 1859. The discovery of DNA’s shape altered how we conceived of life itself. The X-ray crystallography by Rosalind Franklin ...

Ancient DNA is telling us more and more about humans and environments long past. Could it also help rescue the future? Eske Willerslev was on a tour of Montreal’s Redpath Museum, a Victorian-era ...
