Replication fork reversal is a complex transaction that requires the coordinated unwinding and annealing of parental and newly synthesized strands at the replication fork. Replication fork reversal is ...

While scientists have had an idea of the molecular tools that cells use to replicate DNA -- the enzymes that unzip the double-stranded DNA and create 'daughter' copies -- they did not have a clear ...

Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have shown that the core machinery for initiating DNA replication is ...

Our lab studies the mechanism of eukaryotic chromosome replication. Chromosomes are the carriers of the genetic and epigenetic information and faithful chromosome replication is of fundamental ...

Could yeast and humans be any more different? Going by looks alone, probably not. But peering into our genomes reveals ...

Mechanisms for replicating DNA / G.S. Brush and T.J. Kelly -- Origins of DNA replication / M.L. DePamphilis -- Roles of transcription factors in DNA replication / P.C. van der Vliet -- Roles of ...

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 ...

The research published in Nature on Dec. 25th, 2019, led by Dr. LI Guohong and Dr. ZHU Mingzhao from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has demonstrated that the histone ...

DNA methylation refers to the process of adding a methyl group to specific regions of DNA. This process can bring about changes in the activity of DNA without changing the sequence of nucleotides.
