While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny little genomes... | Genetics And Genomics ...
