New research from Max Planck Institute reveals how plants defend their genomes from invasion by chloroplast DNA.

A unique feature of HR is that it repairs the damage to the DNA in a highly accurate way. In eukaryotic cells (those with a ...

A new study in Nature Plants reveals that DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR) pathways help prevent gene transfer from ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology have addressed a longstanding challenge in CRISPR ...

In cells without the HD gene, HTT stimulates PARylation and promotes efficient DNA repair. However, in HD, the mutant HTT protein fails to stimulate PARP, leading to fewer PAR chains, impaired DNA ...

Scientists have long known that more than 500 genes (out of approximately 20,000 human protein-coding genes) are crucial for DNA repair. By comprehensively analyzing the interactions of these ...

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 ...

Dr. Kristen Scarpato explains the role of genetic testing in prostate cancer care, as well as its use in determining ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...
