Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences, in partnership with other institutions, have pinpointed the exact ...

A newly mapped step in DNA replication suggests that strand separation begins at a precise junction between two helicase rings. Credit: Shutterstock Researchers mapped where DNA first opens and how a ...

Researchers have identified an alternate method to study changes during the DNA replication process in lab settings using genetically modified yeast. The new approach offers a clearer window than ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study. In a new paper published in Nature Communications, an ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Implications on cancer biology and treatment through the origin recognition complex uncovered by UAB researchers ...

The molecular choreography of DNA replication is a finely balanced process ensuring that genetic information is faithfully transmitted during cell division. Replication initiation begins with origin ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...
