Hidden DNA weak spot near gene start mutates rapidly

These sequences are extremely prone to mutations and rank among the most functionally important regions in the entire human ...
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 aging, cancer, ...
The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...
Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...
