HiDEF-seq technique reveals the origins of DNA mutations in single strands

Mutations are changes in the molecular "letters" that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...

DNA damage can last unrepaired for years, changing our view of mutations

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

Study uncovers mutations and DNA structures driving bladder cancer

How bladder cancer originates and progresses has been illuminated as never before. Researchers found that antiviral enzymes that mutate the DNA of normal and cancer cells are key promoters of early ...

Reducing food intake by 30% reduced the accumulation of DNA mutations—a mouse study finds a new relationship between 'calorie restriction and aging'

"Reducing the amount you eat helps you live longer." Many people have probably heard that before. In fact, previous studies have reported that in animals, including mice, significantly restricting ...

Ancient genome function persists despite frequent mutations, centromere study shows

Every time a cell divides, its chromosomes must be distributed correctly between the two daughter cells. Central to this ...
