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 ...
A recent study, undertaken by researchers at the Tokyo Metropolitan University and the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science (both Japan), unravels key steps in the process of homologous ...
New research shows bacteria form distinct species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange via homologous recombination. When Kostas Konstantinidis proved that many microbes -- like plants ...
The prevalence of homologous recombination DNA damage repair (HR-DDR) deficiencies among all tumor lineages is not well characterized. Therapy directed toward homologous recombination DDR deficiency ...
Illustration showing how autophagy induction increases the efficiency of precise gene editing. In normal cells, DNA breaks caused by CRISPR–Cas9 are frequently repaired through non-homologous end ...
A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely to benefit from PARP inhibitor cancer treatments, according to a study led ...
