Double-strand breaks are among the most difficult forms of DNA damage for cells to repair because they disrupt the continuity of DNA and leave no intact template to base new strands on.

DNA damage has been associated with aging and disease. Double-strand breaks are one of the worst forms of damage. New research shines a light on the repair process.

Double-strand breaks are among the most difficult forms of DNA damage for cells to repair because they disrupt the continuity of DNA and leave no intact template to base new strands on.

RNA only has one strand, but like DNA, is made up of nucleotides. RNA strands are shorter than DNA strands. RNA sometimes forms a secondary double helix structure, but only intermittently. Length : ...

Double-strand breaks are among the most difficult forms of DNA damage for cells to repair because they disrupt the continuity of DNA and leave no intact template to base new strands on.

Seventy years ago, a trio of scientific papers announcing the discovery of DNA’s double helix was published. Watson, Crick and Wilkins won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1962 for ...

This extraordinary twisting residential tower takes the form of a DNA's double helix. It boasts impressive sustainability features and includes roughly 23,000 trees, shrubs and plants on – and ...

Double-strand breaks are among the most difficult forms of DNA damage for cells to repair because they disrupt the continuity of DNA and leave no intact template to base new strands on.

On February 28, 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick informally announced that they had discovered the double-helical structure of DNA. They soon reported their find more formally. On April 25 ...
