The ability to genetically engineer plants is largely thanks to a microscopic helper: a bacterium called Agrobacterium ...

Assistant Professor Benjamin Nilsson Payant is awarded for his studies on the molecular biology of emerging RNA viruses. His ...

MSK researchers discovered that the innate immune system's chronic activation due to issues in the Mre11 complex can lead to ...

The award will fund work on DNA replication and pathways for cancer treatment, and create a community lab for local students to get research experience.

Her group investigates chromatin dynamics during DNA replication and repair. The Mattiroli group uses biochemical reconstitutions, structural approaches and cell biology to elucidate the biophysical ...

Along with defending against pathogens, the body's innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in unexpected ways -- ways that have important implications for the development of ...

There used to be a time when the word “computer” meant an occupation, not a device. Even after digital technology took over ...

At UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, one scientist's sleepless nights are driven by the mysteries of virus-host ...

Through this cross-chiral self-replication, the amount of both molecules increases exponentially and indefinitely—something rarely seen outside of biology. In fact, NASA defines life as "a self ...
