When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...
A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...
When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...
The first 100 bases of many genes show excess mutations, revealing a major genomic weak spot that shapes disease risk and ...
"Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative," wrote H. G. Wells. This principle—that survival requires ...
We have long struggled to determine how the first living organisms on Earth came together. Now, surprising evidence hints ...
Most cancer cells use an enzyme called telomerase to rebuild their telomeres. In this study, Dr Ashley Harman from CMRI’s ...
Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of ...
The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break—when both ...
