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

A new discovery by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) in Japan upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. Led by Ichiro Hiratani and colleagues, the ...

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 ...

Eukaryotic chromosomes replicate from multiple discrete loci termed origins of replication. These sites are first recognised by the origin recognition complex (ORC), which, together with Cdc6 and Cdt1 ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA ...

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique for the amplification of DNA in vitro (this describes experiments with cells outside their normal environment). PCR amplifies DNA using complementary ...

King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST)Mar 19 2025 For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA ...

DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical copy of its DNA. This process is performed at the beginning of every cell division so that when the cell divides, each daughter cell ...

If parent cells and their daughter cells are to share a stable identity, parent cells must divide—and replicate their DNA—while ensuring that their histones are distributed properly to their daughter ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life. A new study from King ...
