Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

Patients with this genetic disorder have a form of dwarfism — they are short in stature and have underdeveloped ears and ...

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 ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.

Paras Gaur, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Iowa, investigates DNA damage repair and G-quadruplex structures ...

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 ...

King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST)Mar 19 2025 For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA ...

The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...
