Harvard Medical School researchers have uncovered crucial insights into how an emerging class of antiviral drugs works.

Scientists at INRS have identified a family of enzymes, known as Ssn, that can make targeted cuts in single-stranded DNA—a feat never before achieved. This discovery not only fills a major gap in ...

A new family of enzymes enables precise cuts in single-stranded DNA, offering powerful new tools for genetic engineering and expanding possibilities in biotechnology. (Nanowerk News) A few years ago, ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most genetic medicine uses viruses or double-stranded DNA to deliver genetic ...

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 ...
