LIG4 syndrome is an exceptionally rare disorder caused by a genetic mutation that prevents the body from repairing damaged DNA.

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.

Drs Ursula A. Matulonis and Joyce F. Liu discuss targeting DNA damage and repair and replication stress in endometrial cancer.

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified.

MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

“The idea that trauma and violence can have repercussions into future generations should help people be more empathetic,” co-senior study author Connie Mulligan said.

The bankruptcy of 23andMe is raising concerns about the future of its DNA information. Once a pioneer in the genetic testing industry, the company faced backlash after hackers leaked user data in ...

Maternal and paternal DNA replication patterns are different In their new study, the researchers studied the DNA replication patterns in early embryos.

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study.

That efficiency, explains De Biasio, makes the study of DNA replication more than an attempt to answer the most fundamental scientific questions about life, it also makes helicases models for the ...
