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

Watson and Crick's discovery of DNA structure in 1953 revealed a possible mechanism for DNA replication. So why didn't Meselson and Stahl finally explain this mechanism until 1958 ...

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

Chromatin’s material properties affect critical processes like transcription, replication ... condensates to attach to specific DNA loci, VECTOR utilizes the energy stored at these liquid ...

Figure 1: Expression of reporter gene constructs derived from the gcy-5, lim-6 and lsy-6 genes. One potential explanation for our observations is that the vector backbone may dictate the packaging ...

DNA is susceptible to damage caused by errors committed during replication and by environmental factors, such as radiation, oxidants, or alkylating agents. Repair reactions involve the excision of ...

Additionally, the scientists unexpectedly captured for the first time a detailed picture of how the "engine" driving the cellular replication machinery moves along DNA in human cells. Their ...
