It has long been thought that two enzymes, the kinases CDC7 and CDK2, are both needed to trigger DNA replication in mammalian cells. This view is challenged by evidence that offers a revised view of ...

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

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

Quantum mechanics, which rules the world of the teensy-tiny, may help explain why genetic mutations spontaneously crop up in DNA as it makes copies of itself, a recent study suggests. If you're ...

Using drugs that inhibit enzymes called CDK4/6 and CDK2 extends the G1 phase of the cell cycle and helps to slow the growth of drug-resistant breast cancer.

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...
