Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

The researchers suspect that 55LCC may be involved in regulating not just the DNA replication process associated with cell division, but also when DNA damaging lesions block replication. Discover the ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA ...

Researchers have identified an alternate method to study changes during the DNA replication process in lab settings using genetically modified yeast. The new approach offers a clearer window than ...

Mitochondrial transcription elongation factor maintains the balance between transcription and replication of mitochondrial DNA offering insights into potential treatments for mitochondrial disease and ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...
