If the engines of DNA replication stay in high gear all the time, they eventually stall or even break down. Fortunately, these engines, which consist of protein complexes, have what could be called ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

A new study led by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center has shown that an enzyme called PARP1 is involved in the repair of telomeres, the lengths of DNA ...

Bowhead whales live over 200 years with minimal cancer incidence CIRBP protein drives highly accurate DNA repair and genome stability ‘Repair, not eliminate’ strategy opens path to anti-aging and ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

Scientists look at the base pairs that compose the "rungs" of the DNA ladder to determine a genome's sequence. The success of E. coli bacteria depends on their ability to multiply very rapidly by ...

This article explores limitations of chemical synthesis in high-throughput settings and the technical advantages enzymatic ...

Recent advancements in glycobiology have challenged the traditional understanding of molecular interactions, and a new study published in Engineering titled "Can DNA be glycosylated?" by Wei Wang ...
