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

This article explores how challenges such as sequence optimization, immune activation and off-target effects are being ...

The researchers focused on the structure and dynamics of kinetoplast DNA, the mitochondrial genome of Trypanosomes, with an experimental study led by Edinburgh and a computational analysis that ...

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

Scientists have developed an experimental RNA-based drug, TY1, that repairs DNA, reduces scar tissue and could lead to new ...

Inside cells, DNA twists and coils itself into a variety of different secondary structures—including i-motifs (iMs) and ...
