An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes. Among them, DNA–histone cross-links (DHCs) occur frequently within ...

A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as ...

A large genetic study shows that many people carry DNA sequences that slowly expand as they get older. Common genetic ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...
