Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA ...

The remarkable image clearly shows the DNA double helix, as predicted by Watson and Crick nearly 60 years ago. With refinement, the Genoa team hope that their new technique will allow researchers ...

The DNA in our cells has a right-handed curve, called B-DNA, to its double helix. But it's also possible to have a double helix with a left-handed curve, called Z-DNA. But that DNA isn't this DNA.

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.

SIXTY years after James Watson and Francis Crick established that DNA forms a double helix, a quadruple-stranded DNA helix has turned up, and it could strengthen the fight against cancer ...

The incorporation of non-natural base pairs into double-stranded DNA, especially those mediated by metal–ligand interactions, offers new opportunities for synthetic DNA materials. The structural ...

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.
