Every day, billions of cells in your body divide, helping to replace old and injured cells with new ones. And each time this happens, your entire genetic library — your genome, which totals more than ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were long regarded as harmful by-products of mitochondrial metabolism, but growing evidence—including our own—shows that ROS also signal to core processes such as ...

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) President and CEO Bruce Stillman has been dissecting DNA replication, a critical step in cell division, since the 1980s. His lab studies how Origin Recognition ...

Danish researchers believe that everyone should monitor their blood folate levels. They argue that a deficiency in folic acid ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

Host Cell Residual DNA (rcDNA) refers to fragments of DNA derived from host cells that may be present in biological products. These products must not contain foreign substances, particularly host DNA, ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were long regarded as harmful by-products of mitochondrial metabolism, but growing evidence—including our own—shows that ROS also signal to core processes such as ...
