A new gene editor takes advantage of CRISPR-associated proteins to insert whole genes into the genome, scientists report.

Two proteins, TRF2 and RAP1, work together to block a repair process that would otherwise treat the natural ends of chromosomes as broken DNA and try to fix them. Formation of the TRF2–RAP1 ...

The findings, published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology on February 28, 2025, illuminate how Pol-theta undergoes a major structural rearrangement when it binds to broken DNA strands.

Traces of DNA left on a broken taillight, tiny pieces of plastic found on the victims clothing and questions about the lead prosecutors handling of evidence. Jurors at Karen Read's second murder ...

On Thursday, jurors heard testimony from a doctor with the state’s Chief Medical Examiner’s Office about the injuries to ...

The prosecution in Karen Read's retrial laid out a critical component of its case during the fourth week of testimony.

After editing, cells naturally repair the broken DNA in different ways. By visualising thousands of DNA sequences from this process, KMAP revealed four common patterns of how the DNA was repaired ...
