During DNA replication, the unwinding of strands leaves a single strand vulnerable. How does the cell protect these strands from damage? How would you identify the protein that serves as a ...

Accurate transmission of the genetic information requires complete duplication of the chromosomal DNA each cell division cycle. However, the idea that replication forks would form at origins of DNA ...

DNA achieves this feat of storing, coding and transferring biological information though its unique structure. Replication of DNA DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical ...

which catalyzes the joining of Okazaki fragments during DNA replication and also plays a role in DNA repair. DNA ligases IIIa (922 amino acids) and IIIb (862 amino acids) are the products of a single ...

How cells respond to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage is not fully understood. This study uncovers a mechanism of mtDNA ...

Combining long-read DNA sequencing with a predictive artificial intelligence model has provided new insights into DNA ...

Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...
