Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies ...

The replication of DNA is initiated at particular sites on the genome called replication origins (ROs). Understanding the constraints that regulate the distribution of ROs across different organisms ...

The research published in Nature on Dec. 25th, 2019, led by Dr. LI Guohong and Dr. ZHU Mingzhao from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has demonstrated that the histone ...

Previous researches on DNA included topics of bases, base-pairing, hydrogen bonds, structure, base sequence, dynamics, ...

In mitosis, DNA replication is initiated through the actions of various multiprotein complexes that recognize the start sites within a chromosome and cause the separation of DNA into two ...

Our lab studies the mechanism of eukaryotic chromosome replication. Chromosomes are the carriers of the genetic and epigenetic information and faithful chromosome replication is of fundamental ...

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. Erin Malsbury ...

A research team led by scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) has introduced a new ...

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 ...

The function of an enzyme, critical to most forms of life, has been revealed. The function of an enzyme, critical to most forms of life, has been revealed. A research team, led by the John Innes ...
