The DNA in our cells wraps around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which organize into chromatin. This ...

Adapted from a release by Université Laval. To transcribe the information contained in our genes or to repair the dozens of breaks that occur daily in our DNA, our enzymes must be able to directly ...

Google DeepMind has revealed a new artificial intelligence system, AlphaGenome, which, the researchers say, could help scientists better interpret the human genome and understand how genetic changes ...

An international collaboration steered by David Cortez, Richard N. Armstrong, Ph.D. Chair for Innovation in Biochemistry, explored how cells tolerate DNA damage and genome instability—and they arrived ...

Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes are driven by systemic inflammation, a natural biological response to harmful stimuli, injuries, or infections. C-reactive protein ...
