Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment ...
A new discovery by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) in Japan upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. Led by Ichiro Hiratani and colleagues, the ...
Every time a cell copies its DNA, parts of the genome are exposed and vulnerable to damage or errors. Molecular biologist ...
Your DNA is constantly changing. And if it weren’t for genetic mutations, evolution wouldn’t exist. So, what would life be ...
Many cancer-associated mutational signatures remain unexplained. Team CAUSE aims to connect DNA damage, mutational patterns, ...
DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...
The breakthrough could reveal previously hidden ancient human activity inside caves, acting as ‘genetic archives’ ...
