Ring-shaped extrachromosomal DNA is implicated in many cancers. Rachel Brazil talks to the scientists trying to uncover their ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Research shows UV radiation modifies 3D genome structure, affecting DNA damage response and gene activity, offering insights ...

This article explores 6-base genome sequencing and how it is empowering researchers to expand their studies to include both ...

As our bodies grow, cells proliferate to form tissues, and cells frequently have to be repaired or replaced throughout life..

p53 enhances DNA repair and suppresses cytoplasmic chromatin fragments and inflammation in senescent cells - ...

New research illustrates how a DNA repair protein suppresses senescent cells, reducing age-associated chronic inflammation.
