It's a major discovery of the 21st century: knowing the structure of DNA has revolutionized our knowledge of life, medicine ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

The researchers focused on the structure and dynamics of kinetoplast DNA, the mitochondrial genome of Trypanosomes, with an experimental study led by Edinburgh and a computational analysis that ...

Scripps Research scientists have discovered how some tumors endure DNA damage, revealing a potential new way to target them. The DNA inside our cells is constantly exposed to damage, and one of the ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes. Among them, DNA–histone ...

ASH 2025 research shows cancer can arise not just from mutations but from broken DNA architecture. AI reveals how lost genome loops silence tumor suppressor genes.

Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable ...

For the first time, scientists have captured the exact moment DNA begins to unravel, shedding light on a fundamental chemical process that enables DNA to serve as the blueprint for life. A recent ...
