If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and ...
Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment ...
DNA replication stress responses are guardians of genomic stability critical during development, hematopoiesis, cancer therapy response, aging and disease suppression. Central to these responses are ...
DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical copy of its DNA. This process is performed at the beginning of every cell division so that when the cell divides, each daughter cell ...
When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique for the amplification of DNA in vitro (this describes experiments with cells outside their normal environment). PCR amplifies DNA using complementary ...
Top: Chromosome separate with functioning SMC in two models, line drawing and filled-space. The red and pink dots indicate, respectively, ori on each copy of DNA. Bottom: DNA separating without ...
Copy number variants (CNVs) are strongly implicated in neurological and psychiatric disorders and brain cancer, yet the process by which replication stress generates CNVs—and why some recur while ...
A cancer drug target already being investigated in clinical trials turns out to be doing something even more consequential than researchers realized. Scientists at Scripps Research have discovered ...
