When the genomes of parents come together to create the genome of a child, their DNA recombines; similar parts are rearranged so that a child carries sections of their parents genomes that have been ...

Belgian researchers from VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology and VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology have developed a new toolbox of 16 different short DNA sequences that allow triggering ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have been studying DNA repair by homologous recombination, where the RecA protein repairs breaks in double-stranded DNA by incorporating a ...

Recombinant DNA (rDNA) refers to artificial DNA molecules that are created by combining genetic material from different sources. This technology involves the insertion of DNA fragments from one ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

In September 1970, Janet Mertz joined the biochemistry department at Stanford University. She was one of only six new graduate students in the department and the first female one admitted in nine ...

Homologous recombination DNA repair deficiency (HRD) is a therapeutic biomarker for sensitivity to platinum and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor therapies in breast and ovarian cancers. Several ...

Analyzing genetic data from nearly 140,000 IVF embryos, researchers linked maternal DNA variants to increased risk of ...
