DSBs can be repaired using several different mechanisms. Both ends can be simply rejoined with little or no further processing (nonhomologous end joining, or NHEJ) or can be repaired using homologous ...
Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...
Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...
