Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...

If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and ...

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; ...

The DNA replication machinery is tasked with accurately copying the entire genome. Considering the size of the human genome, a single replicative machine (a replisome) would require over a thousand ...

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 ...
