Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study. In a new paper published in Nature Communications, an ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

Enzymes that cut DNA at specific sites are called endonucleases; these enzymes play many roles in genomic replication, fidelity, and defense. The initial discovery of restriction endonucleases in the ...

In the body, the small molecule formaldehyde (upper left in box) inhibits an enzyme (violet) that makes methyl groups (red) that are added to DNA. This interferes with methylation, an important ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal metabolic processes or ...
