Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...
If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and ...
Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment ...
A new discovery by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) in Japan upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. Led by Ichiro Hiratani and colleagues, the ...
A major obstacle to studying DNA replication is that it involves asynchronous and highly delocalized events. A reversible replication barrier overcomes this limitation and allows replication fork ...
Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) protect transiently exposed ssDNA, yet how DNA polymerase (DNAp) displaces them during replication remains unclear. Using single-molecule force spectroscopy ...
DNA testing has been a major step in advancing people’s genealogy in recent years. But are you sure that you know how to go about it and, what to expect when your results come back and how to ...
