When DNA is damaged, cellular processes respond and repair the DNA. Inhibiting DNA damage repair can be therapeutically ...

St. Jude researchers show the DNA repair enzyme PARP1 evicts two histones near damage sites, forming hexasomes that recruit ...

An animal chromatin-diminution review examines measured genome and nuclear changes in copepods while treating the functions ...

DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a new study. DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional ...

Human genomic DNA is wrapped around core histone proteins to form nucleosomes, the fundamental units of chromatin. During ...

DNA polymerase ζ (Polζ) has emerged as a key reverse transcriptase in RNA-templated double-strand break repair (RT-DSBR), beyond its canonical role in translesion DNA synthesis (TLS). We present here ...

Neurons are the anatomical and functional unit of the nervous system, regulating both vital functions and higher functions. Among the very few cells in the body that do not regenerate, these cells ...

Escherichia colitopoisomerase III (EcTopo3) is a type IA topoisomerase that binds single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) during DNA cleavage and strand passage. Here, we report ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...
