Researchers have identified the specific structural loops in G-quadruplex DNA that allow it to act as a chaperone, preventing ...
Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...
For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

A new long-read sequencing technique has helped researchers investigate how DNA mutations arise in a variety of contexts. A collaboration of researchers led by NYU Langone Health and NYU Grossman ...
There’s an old saying about a dollar waiting on a dime. In other words, a monumental endeavor may become stuck at some point if a key preliminary element remains unavailable. The saying could be ...
Like the human immune system, bacteria learn from past infections. CRISPR sequences—short snippets of DNA from previous viruses—guide destructive enzymes towards invading bacteriophages that express ...
