Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

The first peer-reviewed journal in the field of human gene therapy, providing all-inclusive coverage of the research, methods, and clinical developments that are driving today's explosion of gene ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

Single-cell analysis helps uncover how the BK virus replicates, opening the door to new drug targets. BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. Without a complete ...

Homologous recombination is a DNA repair mechanism that counteracts double-stranded breaks in DNA. Researchers at Kindai University have recently revealed how the Sae2 protein coordinates with the ...
