DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Nucleic acids are named for where they're found—inside the nuclei of cells—and for the ...

New research from the Kind Group at the Hubrecht Institute sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, ...

Our records of the human genome may still be missing tens of thousands of 'dark' genes. These hard-to-detect sequences of ...

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called ...

Researchers have mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...

Each cell in our body experiences up to tens of thousands of DNA-damaging events per day, primarily from routine cellular ...
