The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has developed an ultrasensitive immunoassay-based analytical platform ...

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a highly conserved pathway that recognises and removes bulky lesions and helix‐distorting adducts from DNA, thereby safeguarding genomic integrity. In bacteria, the ...

Base excision repair (BER) is a fundamental pathway that safeguards genomic integrity by detecting and removing small base lesions arising from oxidation, alkylation, deamination or spontaneous base ...

The Summit supercomputer revealed how damaged strands of DNA are surgically repaired by a molecular pathway called nucleotide excision repair, or NER. NER’s protein components can change shape to ...

New research sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human cells. The study demonstrates how these proteins ...

A new study adds to an emerging, radically new picture of how bacterial cells continually repair faulty sections of their DNA. Published online May 16 in the journal Cell, the report describes the ...

New research from the Kind Group at the Hubrecht Institute sheds light on how cells repair damaged DNA. For the first time, the team has mapped the activity of repair proteins in individual human ...

Scientists have discovered that a gene normally considered a DNA-protecting "good guy" can become dangerous when cells make too much of it. The gene, EXO1, acts like molecular scissors that help ...
