Each one of the trillions of cells that make up the human body suffers more than 10,000 DNA lesions every day. These injuries would be catastrophic if cells were unable to repair them, but a very ...

In the study, the researchers have developed new approaches that allow DNA repair to be visualized by analyzing hundreds of proteins at once As soon as there is DNA damage, such as a DNA double-strand ...

OnScreen Science has announced the release of OnScreen DNA, a 3D visualization tool aimed at high school and college biology teachers and others with an interest in DNA. It costs $199.99. OnScreen DNA ...

From 3D genome explorers to dynamic simulations, genetics education is entering a new era of interactivity. Students can now ...

Researchers from the Hubrecht Institute in Utrecht (The Netherlands) and the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Münster (Germany) used computer simulations to reveal in atomic detail ...

If you want to examine the results of gel electrophoresis — and who doesn’t — you need a transilluminator. These devices can be quite pricey, though, so you might want to check out [Gabriel ...

Every day, each of the trillions of cells in the human body receives over 10,000 DNA lesions, which if unrepaired can lead to mutations and diseases, such as cancer. Luckily, we have complex machinery ...

The enzyme RNA polymerase (RNAP) carries out transcription, copying DNA into RNA. It's the first step in gene expression, and a process fundamental to all life. But the inner workings of this ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science have enhanced the DNA-PAINT microscopy technique to visualize up to 12 biomolecules simultaneously inside cancer cell nuclei at resolutions of 3–5 ...

Researchers have identified HELQ as a key regulator of DNA replication stress responses, explaining why cells lacking the ...
