Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not exactly clear what ...

Greenland sharks use a unique DNA repair process to protect their eyesight, revealing clues about longevity and retinal preservation.

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA repair during mitosis, coordinating backup pathways that protect chromosomes ...

Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells. The research, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the editors as a ...

Greenland sharks preserve vision for centuries through DNA repair, offering clues for treating age-related eye disease.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight can cause DNA damage that leads to skin aging and cancer. Fortunately, our bodies have a highly efficient repair system capable of swiftly identifying and repairing ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...
