Error-prone DNA replication and repair may lead to mutations and cancer in individuals who inherit a mutant copy of the BRCA1 gene, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

Sometimes a replicating cell must choose the lesser of two evils. For example, when a replicating cell is stressed, it may struggle to pair bases against its single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) template, even ...

On 22 May 2019, scientists from Queen's University boarded a modified Falcon 20 aircraft at Ottawa airport. Scheduled was a ‘vomit comet’ flight, where the plane repeatedly climbs to 8km in a steep ...

Using "third-generation" genome-wide DNA sequencing data, a team of researchers from Penn State and the Czech Academy of Sciences showed that sequences with the potential to form unusual DNA ...

A Richmond-based laboratory incorrectly analyzed DNA evidence in as many as 580 cases from across the state over five years before an inaccurate system setting was discovered in January 2022 and ...

DNA damage prompts DNA repair that may be either slapdash or tidy, depending on the circumstances. For example, during the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle, the BRCA1 protein promotes the tidy sort ...
