Because enzymes are little molecular machines, heat cycling is enough to get them to do the work of DNA replication. The process is called the DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR). (If it sounds ...

Scientists have provided the most detailed account yet of the earliest stages of DNA replication, an essential process for ...

While scientists have long known the importance of helicase in DNA replication, "they did not know how DNA, helicases and ATP work together in a coordinated cycle to drive DNA unwinding," De ...

Researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington discovered how the flowerpot snake, with three sets of chromosomes, can ...

For the first time, researchers have filmed in real time the disassembly of DNA at the atomic scale. This strand separation ...

The double ring, spool-like structure of RAD52 protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. A study led by the University of ...

Researchers at the Center for Embryology and Healthy Development (CRESCO) aim to find out why so many early embryos fail in ...

"We've known that G4s are associated with genomic instability—and now our study provides a much clearer understanding of how they work ... DNA structures can pose physical barriers to DNA ...
