In prokaryotes, the circular chromosome is contained in the cytoplasm in an area called the nucleoid. In contrast, in eukaryotes ... structures. DNA takes this form following DNA replication ...

Researchers have recently discovered that, in eukaryotes ... kinases are key factors for the surveillance of DNA replication, and prevent chromosome breakage in dividing cells.

We are interested in the mechanism of chromosome replication, a process that is highly conserved across eukaryotes and that involves the duplication of both the chromosomal DNA and its associated ...
