DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies. The findings visualize for the ...

Dr. Cynthia J. Burrows of the University of Utah will focus on biomedical implications of DNA research through two lectures that she will present while at Hope College on Thursday and Friday, Feb.

Scientists reported a novel molecular mechanism for the regulation of PCNA cycling during DNA replication. They proved that ATAD5-RLC opens PCNA ring to be removed from DNA as a bona-fide PCNA ...

Nanoscale “robots” made of DNA that rapidly self-replicate could be harnessed to manufacture drugs or other chemicals inside the body, say researchers. Tiny machines made of DNA origami may make ...
