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

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to ...

DNA- and RNA-binding proteins (DRBPs) constitute a significant fraction of cellular proteins and have important roles in cells. Their functions include control of transcription and translation, DNA ...

Inside cells, DNA twists and coils itself into a variety of different secondary structures—including i-motifs (iMs) and ...

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

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

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

When you get a DNA test kit, you'll get a set of instructions to follow so you can get a sample of DNA from your body to the lab. You'll either be asked to spit into a tube or wipe a swab around ...
