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.

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 : ...
