Unlike eukaryotes, prokaryotes (which include bacteria) undergo a type of cell division known as binary fission. In some respects, this process is similar to mitosis; it requires replication of ...

In eukaryotes, DNA wraps around histone octamers to form chromatin in the nucleus. The licensing and activation of replication origins are regulated by both the DNA sequence and chromatin features.

The genetic connections between DNA repair pathways and human cancer predisposition have fueled interest in the proteins that recognize and repair specific sites of DNA damage. The repair enzymes are ...

Holliday junctions act as recognition signals near the ORCs of eukaryotic DNA during replication. Other proteins, such as MLL, WRN, 14-3-3, and DEK also show preferential binding.

The DNA polymerase enzymes involved in the eukaryotic DNA replication belong to the B family of DNA polymerases, whereas those enzymes that function in bacteria belong to families A and C, and ...

Almost all life on earth is based on DNA being copied, or replicated, and understanding how this process works could lead to a wide range of discoveries in biology and medicine. Now for the first time ...

Researchers at the Smithsonian and around the world are working to sequence the genomes of every eukaryotic species on Earth in the next 10 years through the Earth BioGenome Project.
