Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...

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 at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that ...

DNA repair mechanism: HELQ helicase remodels stalled replication forks into stable structures, preventing harmful mutations under replication stress. Advanced imaging tool: RF-SIRF maps reversed forks ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...

An elegant collaboration between researchers in the UK's two core-funded Medical Research Council Research Institutes, the Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London and the Laboratory of ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a key enzyme—RNase H2—that helps ...
