Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...
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 ...

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 ...
A cancer drug target already being investigated in clinical trials turns out to be doing something even more consequential ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprising secret about our DNA: it’s not a static blueprint, but a constantly shifting, folding ...
DNA replication is a complex process with many moving parts. In baker's yeast, the molecular complex Ctf18-RFC keeps parts of the replication machinery from falling off the DNA strand. Human cells use ...

DNA-copying enzymes caught making errors that could reshape DNA writing
Researchers at the University of Bristol have caught DNA-copying enzymes generating long stretches of genetic code without ...
Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.
Researchers discovered a kinase-driven phosphorylation switch that activates DNA packaging machinery, aligning nucleosomes at ...
