A team has unlocked a decades old mystery about how a critical cellular process called DNA replication is regulated. A team of Florida State University researchers has unlocked a decades-old mystery ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Unlike nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is circular in nature and organized as mitochondrial nucleoids comprised of DNA-protein complexes that are distributed in the matrix. It is also inherited ...

For biologists everywhere, April 25 is auspicious. It is DNA Day and commemorates the date in 1953 when scientists Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins published seminal ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...
