DNA repair: A look inside the cell's 'repair café' Date: November 21, 2024 Source: Hubrecht Institute Summary: New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the ...

A group of Chinese scientists has created powerful new tools that allow them to edit large chunks of DNA with incredible ...

To the point DNA packaging: DNA exists in different states in order to fulfill different functions in the cell nucleus. A research team has now discovered a molecular switch that controls the ...

That's why the DNA strands are wrapped as tightly as possible in preparation for cell division: Multiple loops and spirals form compact, neatly-disentangled, sausage-shaped chromosomes with their ...

The technology could zero in on one spot in a cell’s genome, and then either snip out or insert new DNA. Dr. Shendure and his colleagues set out to use CRISPR to record a cell’s history.

By allowing cells to be traced back to their ancestor cells, LoxCode points to a future where the early roots of developmental disorders can be uncovered. As part of the study, the research team ...
