DNA looping damage tied to HPV cancer, researcher discovers

Certain strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) are known to cause about five percent of all cancer cases, yet all the mechanisms aren’t completely understood. Now, researchers have leveraged Ohio Supercomputer Center resources and whole-genome sequencing to identify a new way that HPV might spark cancer development — by disrupting the human DNA sequence with repeating loops when HPV is inserted into host-cell DNA as it replicates. …Read Full Story
