Scientists say their work on a critical step in DNA replication will provide new insights into a fundamental process of life and driver of many different diseases, including cancer. They report the ...

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 ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...

Failures in DNA replication can lead to cancer, birth defects or other harm Video shows single pieces of double-helix DNA being copied Single-molecule view gives new insights into this process ...

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 ...
