Tiny, newly formed tumors shed small fragments of DNA that are swept into the bloodstream. Future cancer screening tests could detect them early.

Researchers discovered a previously unknown function of RNA, potentially opening the door to new ways to treat cancer and ...

Cells are constantly subjected to DNA damage from a range of internal and environmental sources. It is estimated that cells ...

Genomic research holds incredible promise for improving human health, but one major challenge has slowed its progress: ...

LINE-1, a "jumping gene" making up 20% of the genome, invades DNA during cell division using protein-RNA clusters, offering ...

Here, the authors demonstrate that EXO1 function depends on conserved interactions with the MSH4 subunit of MSH4-MSH5, the MLH1 subunit of MLH1-MLH3, and DNA. The DNA breaks that initiate ...
