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 ...

A cancer drug target already being investigated in clinical trials turns out to be doing something even more consequential ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Medical School have developed a new method called PARTAGE that provides a clearer ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers discovered a kinase-driven phosphorylation switch that activates DNA packaging machinery, aligning nucleosomes at ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have caught DNA-copying enzymes generating long stretches of genetic code without ...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have measured the precise force required to open Piezo1, a protein that ...

Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...
