Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies ...

The replication of DNA is initiated at particular sites on the genome called replication origins (ROs). Understanding the constraints that regulate the distribution of ROs across different organisms ...

Our lab studies the mechanism of eukaryotic chromosome replication. Chromosomes are the carriers of the genetic and epigenetic information and faithful chromosome replication is of fundamental ...

Many common viruses responsible for childhood illnesses establish a home for life within us. This is evidenced in a new study carried out at the University of Helsinki and published in Nucleic Acids ...

The research published in Nature on Dec. 25th, 2019, led by Dr. LI Guohong and Dr. ZHU Mingzhao from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has demonstrated that the histone ...

A research team led by scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) has introduced a new ...

In mitosis, DNA replication is initiated through the actions of various multiprotein complexes that recognize the start sites within a chromosome and cause the separation of DNA into two ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals that cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) ...

Researchers unveil append editing, a method that attaches chemical tags to DNA, expanding possibilities in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology.

Researchers at the Smithsonian and around the world are working to sequence the genomes of every eukaryotic species on Earth in the next 10 years through the Earth BioGenome Project. Erin Malsbury ...
