"There are plenty of hypotheses about the mechanics of DNA replication, but until now the process could not be studied using a defined system with pure proteins." ...

DNA replication is a fundamental biological process that enables the accurate duplication of an organism’s genetic material. This intricate mechanism ensures that each new cell receives a ...

Scientists have deciphered molecular-level details of the complex choreography by which intricate cellular proteins recognize and bind to DNA to start the DNA replication process. The research may ...

This Collection invites submissions that highlight recent advances in our understanding how the DNA replication process is regulated, safeguarded or repaired.

Postmitotic myotubes cannot complete DNA replication following forced cell cycle reactivation. Comparative genomic ...

DNA replication likes one direction. Not the boy band, but rather it prefers to replicate in a certain direction over the other. Publishing their findings in Science Advances, scientists have ...

DNA replication is closely linked to the process of cell division. Before a cell can divide into two daughter cells, it must ensure that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic ...

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

Directed evolution is usually a laborious process that often takes weeks in which proteins rapidly evolve and develop ...
