Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells.

Now, for the first time, EMBL scientists have directly observed this process in high resolution under the microscope using a new chromatin tracing method. The new study shows that the long DNA ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of ...
