A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...

The Hormel Institute, University of Minnesota researchers are looking into how cancer cells respond to treatment with hydroxyurea, a commonly used chemotherapy drug. According to a release from ...

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — The New Haven Police Department said it has made an arrest in an alleged sexual assault case dating back more than a decade thanks to DNA technology. New Haven Special ...

A team of Italian scientists recently found a link between super-agers, or people with exceptional longevity, to inherited DNA from Ice Age hunter-gatherer populations in Europe. By comparing DNA from ...

Popular genetics tests can’t tell you much about your dog’s personality, according to a recent study. A team of geneticists recently found no connection between simple genetic variants and behavioral ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A SickKids led study has found that tiny repeated DNA segments called short tandem repeats vary not only in length but also in ...

The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...

This work provides high-precision single-cell data on the relationship between DnaA activity and cell size, offering important insights for the field of cell cycle control. These findings motivate a ...

It took nearly 50 years to work out the identity of a caribou-like fossil first discovered by construction workers. By Elie Dolgin In 1976, as jackhammers and backhoes carved a subway tunnel through ...
