A University of Sheffield study has provided a brand new insight into how our DNA can replicate itself. The team has captured "never before seen snapshots of enzymes trimming branched DNA after ...

DNA replication disrupts both heterochromatin and euchromatin structure, yet the histone marks within chromatin are still transmitted accurately from generation to generation. Li et al. describe a ...

DNA stores all of the information necessary for life phenomena, and a cell transmits its own genetic information to two daughter cells through DNA replication and cell division. Replication stress ...

Unexpected slowdowns or spikes in this signal were often interpreted as knots in DNA. But now, a new study published Aug. 12 ...

A small protein that plays a couple of key roles in DNA replication may make a good target for cancer therapy.

Leveraging a novel system designed to examine the double-strand DNA breaks that occur as a consequence of gene amplification during DNA replication, scientists are bringing new clarity to the ...

DNA replication is closely linked to the process of cell division. Before a cell can divide into two daughter cells, it must ensure that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic ...

DNA Day is held on April 25 to commemorate the publishing of the scientific papers that described the helical structure of the DNA molecule ...

A study links the loss of DNA methylation across the genome—as is common in cancer—to the disruption of the 3-D compartments that organize the genome and to the timing of DNA replication. Cell lines ...

Failures in DNA replication can lead to cancer, birth defects or other harm Video shows single pieces of double-helix DNA being copied Single-molecule view gives new insights into this process ...

How does embryonic DNA replicate and repeat? Embryonic cells need to divide, fast. But mess with their chromatin, and they’ll stall. Read more.
