An incredible genetic analysis reveals that a lungfish has a larger genome than a human. We explore what this means.

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

New work shows that physical folding of the genome to control genes located far away may have been an early evolutionary ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell ...

REPAIRome specifically addresses the repair of one of the most serious types of DNA damage, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).

Advanced DNA sequencing technologies and a new model of stem cell research have enabled an international team to discover a ...
