As previously mentioned, the location at which a DNA strand begins to unwind into two separate single strands is known as the origin of replication. As shown in Figure 1, when the double helix ...

During DNA replication, special enzymes move up along the DNA ladder, unzipping the molecule as it moves along. New nucleotides move in to each side of the unzipped ladder. The bases on these ...

Additionally, the scientists unexpectedly captured for the first time a detailed picture of how the "engine" driving the ...

The replication fork is more than just a means for DNA duplication. It is connected to a checkpoint system that keeps the genome intact and prevents cancer. Aa Aa Aa Eukaryotic genomes are ...

This process is essential for the proper functioning and survival of all living organisms. DNA replication is the process by which the DNA molecule makes an exact copy of itself during cell division.

A study links the loss of DNA methylation across the genome—as is common in cancer—to the disruption of the 3-D compartments that organize the genome and to the timing of DNA replication. Cell lines ...
