Prof. Vladimir Gvozdev—an outstanding Russian molecular geneticist who taught several generations of students at Moscow State University—died last year. Th

Nature Communications - Repetitive DNA sequences shape genome evolution and instability. Here, the authors analyze repeat length distributions across over 300 mammals and show that long repeats...

Abstract. Mirror DNA repeats were found in genomic DNA several decades ago, but their role and the mechanisms leading to their abundance have remained a my

NIH is appealing loss of some lab leaders among in-house research program while bracing for the next actions from the Trump administration

Abstract. H-DNA is an intramolecular DNA triplex formed by homopurine/homopyrimidine mirror repeats. Since its discovery, the field has advanced from chara

DNA repeats can lengthen or shorten during their replication, which may lead to a human disease. Here, the authors discovered that an essential replication protein, Mcm10, counteracts instability of G...

Over 50 hereditary degenerative disorders are caused by expansions of short tandem DNA repeats (STRs). (GAA)n repeat expansions are responsible for...
