The Fanconi anaemia pathway has become a model system for researchers investigating DNA repair. The Fanconi anaemia pathway repairs DNA crosslinks that block DNA replication, and the FANCD2–FANCI ...

Rosalind Franklin’s role in the discovery of the structure of DNA may have been different than previously believed. Franklin wasn’t the victim of data theft at the hands of James Watson and Francis ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...

The story of DNA sequencing has been one of continued, almost unbroken scientific achievement -- but, in a very real sense, all those achievements have been are more and more efficient ways of ...
