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 ...
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 ...
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...
Animation of DNA’s knot-like i-motif structure the team mapped in 50,000 locations in the human genome, concentrated in key functional areas including regions that control gene activity Credit must be ...
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 ...
Drs Ursula A. Matulonis and Joyce F. Liu discuss targeting DNA damage and repair and replication stress in endometrial cancer. Drs Ursula A. Matulonis and Panagiotis A. Konstantinopoulos discuss ...
