DNA replication is a fundamental process for a cell to ensure that an accurate copy of its genetic material is transmitted to daughter cells at each cell division. Challenges to DNA replication ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered that certain p53 mutants hijack the DNA replication machinery ...

A new method to study specific changes in DNA after replication has been published as a technical report in Nature Cell Biology. Researchers developed a highly sensitive, quantitative mass ...

A new study on genetic sequencing finds that DNA replication is not as accurate as was previously thought, which could impact a range of fields, from medicine to the study of evolution. DNA ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA ...

On 22 May 2019, scientists from Queen's University boarded a modified Falcon 20 aircraft at Ottawa airport. Scheduled was a 'vomit comet' flight, where the plane repeatedly climbs to 8km in a steep ...

Huge sections of the human genome are made up of highly repetitive sequences, areas where bases like ATATAT repeat in very long strings. For many years, scientists wrote these repetitive sequences off ...

With “Crick: A Mind in Motion,” the British biologist Matthew Cobb aims for the tricky “middle path”: a life vivid enough to ...

The cohesin subunit Scc1 returns and reconstitutes the complex with Smc1–Smc3 in late mitosis upon DNA double-strand breaks, although it does not participate in homologous recombination-driven MAT ...
