DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.
A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, ...
The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...
DNA, which has a double-helix structure, can have many genetic mutations and variations. Credit: NIH When cells in the human body divide, they must first make accurate copies of their DNA. The DNA ...
Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...
MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...
PHILADELPHIA – When cells in the human body divide, they must first make accurate copies of their DNA. The DNA replication exercise is one of the most important processes in all living organisms and ...
