This article explores 6-base genome sequencing and how it is empowering researchers to expand their studies to include both ...

Sunburns and aging skin are obvious effects of exposure to harmful UV rays, tobacco smoke and other carcinogens. But the effects aren't just skin deep. Inside the body, DNA is literally being torn ...

The Summit supercomputer revealed how damaged strands of DNA are surgically repaired by a molecular pathway called nucleotide ...

Shortly after this publication, Bogdanove struck up a collaboration with Daniel Voytas, a plant geneticist at the University ...

Researchers at Georgia State University used the Summit supercomputer to study an elaborate molecular pathway called ...

This laid the foundation for what would eventually become GenomeTrakr: a network of public and academic labs using high-resolution whole-genome sequencing (WGS) technologies to detect foodborne ...

Researchers have uncovered mechanisms by which mobile genetic elements integrate into the chromosomes of bacteria with linear genomes.

A new structural blueprint paves the way for improved targeting of cancer cells, particularly those with BRCA1 and BRCA2 ...

Once a matching sequence is found, Pol-theta holds the broken DNA strands together so ... In addition to Lander and Zerio, authors of the study, "Human polymerase θ helicase positions DNA ...

Kokoris came up with the idea of solving some of the noise issue of nanopore sequencing by converting DNA into larger ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

Scientists at Scripps Research have now captured the first detailed images of the DNA repair protein, Pol-theta, in action, ...
