DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes.

( NewsNation) — Tanning beds cause melanoma-linked DNA damage across nearly the entire surface of the skin, a new study found ...

DNA itself is made from four chemical building blocks, or bases, which are strung together in endlessly varied combinations. It's the order of these bases -- adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

DNA analysis of thousands of tumors from NHS patients has found a 'treasure trove' of clues about the causes of cancer, with genetic mutations providing a personal history of the damage and repair ...

A study conducted by the Development and Growth Control Laboratory at IRB Barcelona sheds light on the contribution of DNA damage to the invasiveness of cancer cells. The discovery challenges the ...

Fresh from solving the protein structure challenge, Google’s deep-learning outfit is moving on to the human genome. Google DeepMind says it’s trained an artificial intelligence that can predict which ...

For the first time, scientists have proven tanning beds are more dangerous than the sun and cause widespread DNA damage.

A noninvasive blood test to detect genetic material shed by tumors may help clinicians identify adverse events related to ...

The oldest known plague victims date back to around 5,000 years ago in Europe. But it’s never been clear whether two cases, one in Latvia and one in Sweden, were isolated and sporadic or evidence of a ...
