Cells' built-in capacity limit for copying DNA could impact cancer treatment

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

Key Cell Division Limiting Factor Identified

A research team has identified a new mechanism that controls DNA’s ability to replicate—and thereby a cell’s ability to ...

How a broken DNA repair tool accelerates aging

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

Researchers Are Using A.I. to Decode the Human Genome

AlphaGenome is a leap forward in the ability to study the human blueprint. But the fine workings of our DNA are still largely ...

A protein thought to play a supporting role in DNA replication actually facilitates the whole process

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

First-time use of AI for genetic circuit design demonstrated in a human cell line

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...
