Each one of the trillions of cells that make up the human body suffers more than 10,000 DNA lesions every day. These injuries would be catastrophic if cells were unable to repair them, but a very ...

In the study, the researchers have developed new approaches that allow DNA repair to be visualized by analyzing hundreds of proteins at once As soon as there is DNA damage, such as a DNA double-strand ...

OnScreen Science has announced the release of OnScreen DNA, a 3D visualization tool aimed at high school and college biology teachers and others with an interest in DNA. It costs $199.99. OnScreen DNA ...

Researchers from the Hubrecht Institute in Utrecht (The Netherlands) and the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Münster (Germany) used computer simulations to reveal in atomic detail ...

If you want to examine the results of gel electrophoresis — and who doesn’t — you need a transilluminator. These devices can be quite pricey, though, so you might want to check out [Gabriel ...

Every day, each of the trillions of cells in the human body receives over 10,000 DNA lesions, which if unrepaired can lead to mutations and diseases, such as cancer. Luckily, we have complex machinery ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by DNA damage. Among the most dangerous lesions are DNA interstrand crosslinks ...
