A protein thought to play a supporting role in DNA replication actually facilitates the whole process

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Novel protein FLIP protects cells against DNA damage and ensures cell viability after replication stress

“Our lab is generally interested in discovering and characterizing previously unknown or poorly understood factors that are essential for genome maintenance. This is particularly important in the ...

i-DNA 'peek-a-boo structures' form in living cells and regulate genes linked to cancer

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...
