If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by DNA damage. Among the most dangerous lesions are DNA interstrand crosslinks ...

Despite extensive studies on DNA replication, the exchange mechanisms of DNA polymerase during replication remain unclear. Existing models propose that this exchange is facilitated by protein partners ...

Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment ...

Reconstructing transcription–translation-coupled DNA replication (TTcDR) in artificial systems is crucial for creating synthetic life; however, existing approaches face limitations mainly due to their ...

Cold sore virus takes over human DNA within just one hour, study finds - Study is first to prove that herpes virus reshapes ...

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 ...
