MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...
The puzzle seems impossible: take a three-billion-letter code and predict what happens if you swap a single letter. The code we’re talking about—the human genome—stores most of its instructions in ...
R-loops are structures that form when a strand of RNA (red) forms a stable structure with double-stranded DNA, causing one strand of the DNA to form a loop. R-loops are associated with gene ...
Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...
A team of researchers at a Berkeley-based startup called Profluent say they’ve used generative AI technologies to edit human DNA. Their goal is to produce gene editors that are more efficient and ...
