Guarding genes against damage is a crucial and complex job, so it’s to be expected that cells have several mechanisms to repair DNA breakages, each providing support under different circumstances. For ...

A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects ...

Illustration showing how autophagy induction increases the efficiency of precise gene editing. In normal cells, DNA breaks caused by CRISPR–Cas9 are frequently repaired through non-homologous end ...

Researchers have discovered that the motion of chromatin, the material that DNA is made of, can help facilitate effective repair of DNA damage in the human nucleus -- a finding that could lead to ...
