Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. The publication of two papers ...

From cancer treatment to sunlight, radiation and toxins can severely damage DNA in both harmful and healthy cells. While the body has evolved to efficiently treat and restore damaged cells, the ...

A researcher has made a discovery that alters our understanding of how the body's DNA repair process works and may lead to new chemotherapy treatments for cancer and other disorders. Researchers ...

Gene editing technologies, such as CRISPR, can cause unintended alterations in the genome which may be potentially dangerous. A multidisciplinary team of scientists led by Britt Adamson at Princeton ...

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) shed into the blood was discovered in the late 1940s but with rapid advances in genomics and computational analytics in just the past few years, researchers at Georgetown ...

A 'ground-breaking' study on so-called 'junk DNA' has potentially unlocked new insights into neurological disorders and ageing, as well as cancer and other diseases. The experimental study, led by the ...

In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, a DNA-based computer that performs effectively has been created by scientists. This innovative breakthrough promises to redefine the boundaries of ...

The DNA test compares the sizes of chosen genetic markers between the samples being investigated. Each DNA marker contains two alleles, one inherited from the biological mother and the other from the ...
