Guarding genes against damage is a crucial and complex job, so it’s to be expected that cells have several mechanisms to repair DNA breakages, each providing support under different circumstances.

The genetic connections between DNA repair pathways and human cancer predisposition have fueled interest in the proteins that recognize and repair specific sites of DNA damage. The repair enzymes are ...

How do DNA repair mechanisms detect and repair damaged DNA, and what happens when they fail? Defects in DNA repair underlie a number of human genetic diseases that affect a wide variety of body ...

The great white's ability to repair its own DNA has evolved in ways ours hasn't. The research was carried out by a team of scientists at the Save Our Seas Foundation Shark Research Centre at Nova ...
