Researchers have discovered a previously unknown role for RNA in DNA repair. Their insights could lead to improved treatments for diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative disorders while changing ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double ...

I have completed a master's degree in a science-related graduate school and work as a researcher at a manufacturing company.

On the left are three forms of the same RNA molecule, which is stabilised into a single form (on the right) by mitoxantrone. Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) serve as messengers between DNA and protein ...

Death does not make DNA disappear. Long after the heart has stopped and the brain has lost function, genetic material can remain inside cells and tissues. What changes is the environment around it: ...

For the Liu Lab, necessity is truly the mother of invention. The researchers were examining how the 3D organization of the genome controls development and needed to image hundreds of RNA molecules in ...
