Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. The publication of two papers ...

From cancer treatment to sunlight, radiation and toxins can severely damage DNA in both harmful and healthy cells. While the body has evolved to efficiently treat and restore damaged cells, the ...

A 'ground-breaking' study on so-called 'junk DNA' has potentially unlocked new insights into neurological disorders and ageing, as well as cancer and other diseases. The experimental study, led by the ...

Gene editing technologies, such as CRISPR, can cause unintended alterations in the genome which may be potentially dangerous. A multidisciplinary team of scientists led by Britt Adamson at Princeton ...

In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, a DNA-based computer that performs effectively has been created by scientists. This innovative breakthrough promises to redefine the boundaries of ...

A researcher has made a discovery that alters our understanding of how the body's DNA repair process works and may lead to new chemotherapy treatments for cancer and other disorders. Researchers ...

Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic micrometers-about a millionth of a milliliter. The cell manages this by ...

The DNA test compares the sizes of chosen genetic markers between the samples being investigated. Each DNA marker contains two alleles, one inherited from the biological mother and the other from the ...
