Covering both fundamental and applied science, this collection offers readers insights into the core mechanisms by which cells replicate their genetic material and maintain the epigenetic marks that ...
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 ...
The researchers suspect that 55LCC may be involved in regulating not just the DNA replication process associated with cell division, but also when DNA damaging lesions block replication. Discover the ...
Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by DNA damage. Among the most dangerous lesions are DNA interstrand crosslinks ...
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 ...
Before each cell division, eukaryotic cells must replicate their chromosomes to ensure the accurate transmission of genetic information. Chromosome replication involves more than just DNA duplication; ...
Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...
Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. The publication of two papers ...
Mitochondrial transcription elongation factor maintains the balance between transcription and replication of mitochondrial DNA offering insights into potential treatments for mitochondrial disease and ...
