DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...

Bethesda, MD - Scientists have discovered a DNA sequence that is involved in controlling the timing of DNA replication. Because alterations in DNA replication timing are associated with cancer, this ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...
