Back in high school chemistry, I remember waiting with my bench partner for crystals to form on our stick in the cup of blue solution. Other groups around us jumped with joy when their crystals formed ...

Researchers at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) have identified how a key enzyme called ATR protects DNA from ...

This morning I made a seriously bone headed move. I've got a project that I have been intermittently working on for the better part of a week. I wrapped the project up this morning, and while removing ...

A team has unlocked a decades old mystery about how a critical cellular process called DNA replication is regulated. A team of Florida State University researchers has unlocked a decades-old mystery ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular aging, cancer, ...

Hyper-V replication failures happen rarely, but their impact can be catastrophic when they do. Know the scenarios that are likely to trigger a replication failure. Over the years, I have developed ...

Researchers have identified the mechanism used by the helicase ring to thread around and separate entwined DNA strands in the replication process. DNA replication is a complex process in which a ...

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 ...

Exactly how does the DNA replication process start? USC scientists provide the first snapshot of how double-helix DNA begins to unwind and replicate after certain proteins put on the “squeeze.” A ring ...
