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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have gained a clearer insight into how common alterations to the structure of DNA affect the process of DNA replication. These structural changes can put a stop to replication, causing ...

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 have gained a clearer insight into how common alterations to the structure of DNA affect the process of DNA replication. These structural changes can put a stop to replication, causing ...

Leicester: A team of scientists at the University of Leicester have captured how cells begin the crucial process of copying their genetic material that may help in treating certain viruses and cancers ...

Danish researchers believe that everyone should monitor their blood folate levels. They argue that a deficiency in folic acid ...

Cells are able to remember that DNA damage has occurred as they pass through the process of cell division, a new study reveals. Researchers found that a protein called p21 acts as a signal of DNA ...
