Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

A research team has identified a new mechanism that controls DNA’s ability to replicate—and thereby a cell’s ability to divide.

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 ...

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 ...

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

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed "molecular movie" showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level – revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying ...

CDT1 inhibits the helicase activity of the MCM complex, thereby suppressing nascent strand synthesis in DNA replication in cultured human cells. This action results in fork collapse and DNA damage, ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...
