Human DNA just stopped mutating. Here’s how it ends us
Your DNA is constantly changing. And if it weren’t for genetic mutations, evolution wouldn’t exist. So, what would life be ...
A new discovery by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) in Japan upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. Led by Ichiro Hiratani and colleagues, the ...
MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...
A representative figure showing that HELQ-deficient cells fail to undergo normal fork slowing after MMC (a crosslinking agent) treatment, consistent with defective fork reversal. Every time a cell ...
