Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication is fundamental to life, yet the precise mechanics of how helicases unwind the genome for replication remain unclear. A recent study published in Nature used ...

We employ fully reconstituted yeast and human DNA replication systems to investigate the structure and biochemical mechanism of the eukaryotic replication machinery. A particular focus of the lab is ...

“This DNA repair and replication activity supports a fascinating mechanism called premeiotic endoreplication, a process through which the snake duplicates its chromosomes before dividing them, ...

In the journal Science, they explain that the genes are arranged by function: If they become increasingly important for faster growth, they are located near the origin of DNA replication ... for cell ...

For the first time, Professor Veyrier and his team at INRS have discovered a family of enzymes that can cut specific sequences in single-stranded DNA. These enzymes, called site-specific ...

A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they ...

EAGLE-1 trial data shows gepotidacin’s potential in treating gonorrhoea, for which no new antibiotics have been approved ...

Gepotidacin is a new oral antibacterial treatment with the potential to become an alternative option for treating infections.
