Males imprint their DNA by adding methyl modifications to it in a way that alters the activity of genes in order to promote ...

Ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight can cause DNA damage that leads to skin aging and cancer. Fortunately, our bodies have a ...

Abstract Ultraviolet-induced DNA lesions are removed by the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. In global-genome NER (GG-NER), XPC-RAD23B ...

Hoogsteen base pairing: An alternative configuration to Watson–Crick pairing in DNA, involving a 180° rotation of the purine base that results in unique hydrogen bonding and structural orientation.

The discovery of Hoogsteen base pairs, an alternative pairing mode to the canonical Watson–Crick structure, has significantly broadened our understanding of DNA dynamics. This conformation, in ...
