Whether you want to authenticate well-loved family stories or are unaware of your family history and need a place to start, personal DNA testing has never been easier. At-home DNA tests are a popular ...

The Public Theater is presenting Elevator Repair Service’s Ulysses, presented in partnership with Under the Radar festival. With humor, pathos, and a richly layered design, Ulysses stiches verbatim ...

From sharing a vanity for 18 years to now, my career as a beauty editor, my mom and I have found ways to bond over beauty in everyday moments. She'll ask for recommendations on a new eye cream, or ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing the entire repair sequence as it unfolds. Instead of freezing cells at ...

A new fluorescent sensor is giving scientists an unprecedented view of how cells respond to DNA damage, capturing the repair process as it unfolds in real time. The tool, developed at Utrecht ...

Therapeutic landscape of Rad51 in cancer treatment. Key elements include (1) DNA damage sources (PARPi, chemo/radiotherapy);(2) repair pathways (Rad51‐mediated HR); (3) intervention strategies (Rad51 ...

Bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) live year-round in the icy or near-icy waters of the Arctic and sub-Arctic. Although they migrate with the seasonal cycles of ice formation and melting, they never ...

Using comparative molecular biology with human cGAS – which actually inhibits DNA repair – the scientists found that the naked mole-rat's enzyme has four key changes that facilitate the important work ...

A clump of proteins seems to be in charge of the level of DNA repair that takes place in our bodies, determining how fast mutations accumulate in our cells over a lifetime – and might thus affect our ...

A review into cases potentially tainted by questionable DNA evidence has been completed, with two “unsafe” convictions identified among almost 300 matters. Cindy Clarke, the Director of Public ...
