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 ...
The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...
A team of researchers recovered ancient human mitochondrial and nuclear DNA directly from a red-painted calcite crust on the ...
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 ...
Many cancer-associated mutational signatures remain unexplained. Team CAUSE aims to connect DNA damage, mutational patterns, ...
