Researchers find an unexpected glitch in a gene that supervises cell division, one that has important implications for cancer treatment. [1½ min read]

Science has laid bare the human genome in its entirety, giving researchers, clinicians and each of us extraordinary access to our genetic blueprint — and the promise and problems that come with it.

Combining genomics and structural biology, three new papers by computational biologist Remo Rohs offer new insight into how proteins find their DNA binding sites in the genome.

Five recent papers by Sloan Research Fellow Remo Rohs, assistant professor of computational biology in USC Dornsife, present new insights into how proteins and DNA interact.

In a study recently published in Cell Reports, USC Dornsife researchers found that dual systems collaborate to keep chromosomes intact during DNA replication.

Combining genetic tools, drug treatment and state-of-the-art imaging, USC Dornsife’s Susan Forsburg and her researchers have found that some cancer cells continue to replicate even after treatment.

These one-celled fungi are not only good for making bread, beer and whiskey. They’re also an important research tool in the fight against cancer.

Oscar Aparicio’s federal stimulus grant will enable him to accelerate progress on his research on DNA replication aimed at improving the understanding of genetic diseases.

The Wrigley Institute's high speed genome sequencer is mind-boggling.
