Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA repair during mitosis, coordinating backup pathways that protect chromosomes ...

A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely ...

A large genetic study shows that many people carry DNA sequences that slowly expand as they get older. Common genetic ...

Unlike most cell types, which continuously divide, neurons have to last for the life of the organism. How do they do that? One way neurons stay healthy is by repairing their DNA as they transcribe it.

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

Greenland sharks use a unique DNA repair process to protect their eyesight, revealing clues about longevity and retinal preservation.

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.
