Shrivastav, M. et al. Regulation of DNA double-strand break repair pathway choice. Cell Research 18, 134–147 (2008). Singh, R. K. & Krishna, M. DNA strand breaks signal the induction of DNA ...

Genes exist in most cells. Inside a cell is a long strand of the chemical DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). A DNA sequence is a specific lineup of chemical base pairs along its strand. The part of DNA ...

During DNA replication, the unwinding of strands leaves a single strand vulnerable. How does the cell protect these strands from damage? How would you identify the protein that serves as a ...

DNA replication is the process by which the DNA molecule makes an exact copy of itself during cell division. The double helix unwinds, and each strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new ...

Key TakeawaysBerkeley Lab researchers and their Harvard collaborators examined cell type and brain region specific features ...

DNA sequencing was revolutionized after scientists discovered a new bacterium in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park ...

During transcription, newly minted RNA sticks to its DNA template, forming a 3-stranded structure known as an R-loop. While ...

Brain cells receive sensory inputs from the outside world and send signals throughout the body telling organs and muscles ...

The following is a summary of “Faulty Gap Filling in Nucleotide Excision Repair Leads to Double-Strand Break Formation in ...

DNA ligase IV is a 911-amino acid polypeptide that plays a role in the repair of double-strand DNA breaks via non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). Yeast cells contain 2 separately encoded DNA ligases, ...

From a genetic perspective, it is the worst-case scenario for a bacterium: during transcription, freshly created RNA adheres to its DNA template to form a three-stranded structure called an R-loop.
