Dr. Hsun-Ming Hu, a postdoctoral researcher of the Department of Geosciences, National Taiwan University (NTU), along with an international team led by NTU’s Distinguished Professor Shen Chuan-Chou, has made a significant advancement in geochronology by redefining the half-life of uranium-234 with remarkable accuracy. This new measurement extends the range of uranium-thorium dating from 600 to 800 thousand years (ka), greatly enhancing the precision in understanding Earth's climate history and human evolution. This paper was published on October 1, 2025, in the journal Science Advances (1). The uranium-thorium dating method determines…
A new interdisciplinary study, recently published in Nucleic Acids Research (2025), uncovers how accessory proteins influence the growth of protein filaments essential for DNA repair. The research, led by Prof. Hung-Wen Li (Department of Chemistry) and Prof. Peter Chi (Institute of Biochemical Sciences), combines expertise in biophysics and biochemistry to investigate how RAD51, an enzyme central to homologous recombination, assembles on DNA during repair. Their collaboration reflects a growing trend of bridging the physical and life sciences to understand complex cellular mechanisms. A key challenge in studying filament-forming proteins like…
Meiotic recombination generates genetic diversity and promotes proper chromosomal segregation of parental chromosomes. This process requires a set of recombinases polymerized on single-stranded (ss)DNAs called the nucleoprotein filament to undergo homology search and strand exchange between homologous DNAs. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae meiosis, programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are formed by Spo11 to generate 3’-ssDNA tails. Once formed, ssDNA overhangs are rapidly bound by the abundant high-affinity ssDNA-binding protein, Replication protein A (RPA), to protect these ssDNAs from nucleolytic degradations or formation of the higher-order DNA structures. RPA-coated ssDNA substrates are…
