DNA replication is a fundamental biological process that enables the accurate duplication of an organism’s genetic material. This intricate mechanism ensures that each new cell receives a ...

The whole process of DNA replication, in human cells, takes about eight hours. There is still plenty to be worked out. For one thing, the DNA that’s being copied is not a naked double helix.

The cell controls the start of DNA replication in a two-step process. The whole goal of the process is to control the actions of a crucial enzyme—called a helicase—that unwinds the DNA double ...

DNA replication likes one direction. Not the boy band, but rather it prefers to replicate in a certain direction over the other. Publishing their findings in Science Advances, scientists have ...

Chen’s lab began to study the mechanism behind DNA opening in eukaryotic cells by observing the same process in simian virus 40 (SV40) s. The team discovered that the virus hijacks normal DNA ...

Significantly, this process is distinct from the replication processes that occur within the cell, because no biological components, particularly enzymes, are used in its execution -- even the DNA ...

POLD3 Is Haploinsufficient for DNA Replication in Mice. Molecular Cell, 2016; 63 (5): 877 DOI: 10.1016/j.molcel.2016.07.007 ...

Mario Tama/Getty Images The process of DNA replication is a tremendous source of wonder and focus for research. The helix must unwind and have each strand copied smoothly and quickly.

DNA Day 2019: How Nanotechnology Is Helping Us Map All the Locations Where DNA Replication Begins Published Apr 25, 2019 at 9:56 AM EDT Updated Apr 25, 2019 at 11:13 AM EDT ...

DNA enzymatic synthesis represents an enormously valuable next step in harnessing the power of DNA replication and our ability to use it for developing cutting-edge, biotechnology solutions.
