When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don’t undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

Scientists show DNA polymerases can build long, patterned DNA without a template called "doodling," opening new paths for ...

Scientists show DNA polymerases can build long, patterned DNA without a template, opening new paths for synthetic biology and ...

Origin firing is the initiation of DNA replication that takes place at specialised start sites, or replication origins, where the DNA first has to be opened up and unwound, before DNA synthesis ...

Conservation levels of gene expression abundance ratios are globally coordinated in cells, and cellular state changes under such biologically relevant stoichiometric constraints are readable as ...

DNA adducts are a form of DNA damage caused by covalent attachment of a chemical moiety to DNA. Adducts that are not removed by the cell can cause mutations that may give rise to cancer. They are ...
