Genomic stability refers to the maintenance of the correct structure and function of an organism's genome, which is the complete set of genetic material. This stability is crucial for the proper functioning and health of cells and organisms. Research in this area focuses on understanding the mechanisms that cells use to maintain genomic stability, as well as the consequences of genomic instability, such as cancer and genetic diseases. Scientists study how DNA is repaired, replicated, and protected from damage, as well as how mutations and other changes in the genome can affect cellular processes and lead to disease. The goal of genomic stability research is to uncover new insights into the molecular basis of genetic diseases and develop potential therapies to prevent or treat them.
