Faulty DNA damage repair can lead to many types of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and other serious disorders. Investigators have developed high-throughput microscopy and machine learning systems ...

Two studies provide a radically new picture of how bacterial cells continually repair damaged sections (lesions) in their DNA. Two studies provide a radically new picture of how bacterial cells ...

By setting up both reactions side by side in a test tube, the team revealed a literal tug-of-war between two DNA-repair pathways acting on the same HTT repeat. Which side wins likely determines ...
