Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study. In a new paper published in Nature Communications, an ...

Researchers have identified an alternate method to study changes during the DNA replication process in lab settings using genetically modified yeast. The new approach offers a clearer window than ...

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; ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA ...

Fig. 4: The process of establishment of pre-RCs at an S. cerevisiae origin in which the B2 domain is separated from the A and B1 origin elements. This Review focuses on the first step in eukaryotic ...
