From the first unzip of the double helix to the final joining of DNA fragments, replication is a carefully coordinated process. Understanding it helps explain how life preserves its genetic code with ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study. In a new paper published in Nature Communications, an ...

Researchers have identified an alternate method to study changes during the DNA replication process in lab settings using genetically modified yeast. The new approach offers a clearer window than ...

Researchers at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) have identified how a key enzyme called ATR protects DNA from ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...
