DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

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 ...

Scientists are uncovering a deeper layer of DNA biology—where its shape, stiffness, and 3D organization are just as important as its sequence. New tools are mapping how replication starts, how damage ...

Scientists have just discovered an entirely new way that DNA can be synthesized. The business of constructing DNA ...

King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST)Mar 19 2025 For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA ...

DNA’s elegant double helix isn’t just beautiful—it’s a masterclass in precision engineering. From base pairing to semi-conservative replication, every step ensures life’s blueprint is copied ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life. A new study from King ...

Drs Ursula A. Matulonis and Joyce F. Liu discuss targeting DNA damage and repair and replication stress in endometrial cancer. Drs Ursula A. Matulonis and Panagiotis A. Konstantinopoulos discuss ...

The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed "molecular movie" showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level – revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying ...
