Impact of Chromosomal Instability and Aneuploidy in Cancer Development Somatic human cells contain a diploid genome consisting of 23 pairs of chromosomes. The maintenance of this diploid state is essential across all layers of biological organization, ranging from the ph...

congratulations to our DB colleague Maria Jasin, recognized by the Greengard Prize! when she started her lab @mskcancercenter.bsky.social, she was the first to insert DNA into a defined location of a mammalian genome! her work underlies today's CRISPR-mediated HDR. here in convo with Rick Lifton.🧬

It is not always safe to repair DNA Damage. Sometimes, cells "just bypass it".

During DNA replication, repair of lesions on DNA can be dangerous. Cells instead "tolerate" DNA damage and focus on finishing replication.

Comprehensive human proteome profiles across a 50-year lifespan reveal aging trajectories and signatures Proteins are the cornerstone of life. However, the proteomic blueprint of aging across human tissues remains uncharted. Here, we present a comprehensi…

One often hears that DNA is the blueprint of life. Today, I read a really nice paper that begins with "proteins are the cornerstone of life". By that logic, I might start referring to RNA as the scaffold, and chromatin as the framework that shapes it all.
Regardless, the paper is a must-read:

New #preprint from the lab! Do you want to see the invisible? So did we! When DNA genomes get broken, cells somehow find related sequences to fix the break. But how do they find it? We developed a way to look at sequence *search*, not just sequence usage.
