Single-cell imaging and mass spectrometry data reveal adenosine in the DNA of mammalian cells can be methylated by METTL3 to form N6-methyladenosine in response to DNA damage.

New precision genome editing technologies are transforming the therapeutic landscape for patients with certain cancers and ...

Researchers have shown that differences in the entire rotavirus genome -- not just its two surface proteins -- affect how well vaccines work, helping to explain why some strains are more likely to ...

Comprehensive reference genomes have now been assembled for six ape species: siamang (a Southeast Asian gibbon), Sumatran ...

Now, with the help of ancient DNA from mummified remains, geneticists are figuring out who once lived there. The Takarkori rock shelter — situated in southwestern Libya’s Tadrart Acacus ...

HR mechanisms generally achieve accurate repair of DNA damage. Double-stranded breaks are repaired by HR or by end-joining mechanisms, which can be non-homologous. Broken replication forks with ...
