Eggs and embryos from people with polycystic ovary syndrome have altered patterns of so-called epigenetic tags, which could ...

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

DNA isn’t just for genetics anymore—it’s shaping up to be the ultimate storage device, especially for your photographs.

Their findings, which were published March 7 in Science, one of world’s leading scientific journals, not only reveal new details about how secondary DNA structures like G4s can impede DNA replication, ...

Mrc1 is part of a group of proteins called the fork protection complex (FPC), which is part of the replisome, a molecular machine that coordinates the replication of DNA, a process that includes ...

Think of it as a process of adding invisible writing to whatever it is we’re adding the emoji to – this is metadata or “data about data”. We produce billions of those tell-tale tags each day.

DNA replication is closely linked to the process of cell division. Before a cell can divide into two daughter cells, it must ensure that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic ...

DNA replication occurs in the S phase of the cell cycle. DNA replication is the process where DNA copies itself. This happens so that old cells can make new cells.

DNA replication is a fundamental process for a cell to ensure that an accurate copy of its genetic material is transmitted to daughter cells at each cell division. Challenges to DNA replication ...

Researchers have found that the “mother” of all stem cells, known as totipotent stem cells, have a much slower rate of DNA replication, which helps improve their efficiency at differentiating ...

Quantum mechanics, which rules the world of the teensy-tiny, may help explain why genetic mutations spontaneously crop up in DNA as it makes copies of itself.

How cells relieve DNA replication stress Date: December 24, 2019 Source: Institute for Basic Science Summary: Scientists revealed that ATAD5 actively deals with replication stress, in addition to ...
