DNA polymerase epsilon catalytic subunit A (POLE) gene plays a crucial role in DNA repair and chromosomal replication. Mutations in the POLE gene have ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...

The findings, presented by Enrique Gonzalez-Duran and Ralph Bock from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology, shed new light on endosymbiotic gene transfer — an ongoing evolutionary ...

The research group led by Professor Hitoshi Kurumizaka, Laboratory of Chromatin Structure and Function, Institute for Quantitative Biosciences, The University of Tokyo, has revealed how the DNA repair ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...

Researchers have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered ...
