A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. This new structural and ...

Kanazawa University and colleagues have achieved a breakthrough in understanding sperm DNA packaging. Using high-speed atomic ...

Researchers say they have mapped more than 200,000 cells in a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and have traced how they're ...

Is Rosalind Franklin a ghost that still haunts the history of genomic science? Alan Booth looks into her remarkable story ...

DNA strand displacement circuits are inching closer to becoming cellular machines. Scientists are finding ways to make these programmable nanodevices stable and functional inside living cells. If ...

RAD52 has already shown promise as a drug target. Inhibitors of the protein can selectively kill cancerous cells while sparing healthy ones, reducing the collateral damage typically caused by ...

Cells use many complex genetic repair backup systems to fix DNA damage and remain healthy throughout their lives.

Scientists say the map of a speck of a mouse's brain could be as transformative as the Human Genome Project. Here's what to ...

Before Watson and Crick basked in Nobel glory, before The Double Helix mythologized their genius, there was the photo. Photo 51 — crisp, clear, and groundbreaking — captured by Dr. Rosalind Franklin, ...
