A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most powerful genetic "on switches" in cancer cells, called super-enhancers, drive ...

Tanya Paull, a professor of molecular biosciences at The University of Texas at Austin, has been selected as one of 16 fellows of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology class of ...

A double-strand break (DSB) is a type of DNA damage where both strands of the DNA helix are cut or broken at the same location, causing a complete discontinuity in the DNA molecule. Unrepaired or ...

Zhi “Zack” Zheng is a member of molecular biologist Scott Keeney's lab. Zhi “Zack” Zheng, who is scheduled to receive his PhD from the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences ...

The FDA has granted orphan drug designation (ODD) to LP-284, a next-generation acylfulvene small molecule, for the treatment ...

Researchers explained to TPS-IL that the same genetic machinery that allows tumors to grow at extremely high speed may also ...

Cars patched up after a wreck may look fixed—but never run quite as before. The same may hold true for chromatin, according to a study published in Science on November 6. In response to double-strand ...

Like the human immune system, bacteria learn from past infections. CRISPR sequences—short snippets of DNA from previous viruses—guide destructive enzymes towards invading bacteriophages that express ...

Broken String Biosciences launched an early access program (EAP) through which select developers of gene edited therapeutics will be able to use Broken String’s INDUCE-seq ® technology in their own ...
