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 ...

A study links the loss of DNA methylation across the genome—as is common in cancer—to the disruption of the 3-D compartments that organize the genome and to the timing of DNA replication. Cell lines ...

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 ...

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 replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell divides -- whether to repair damaged tissue, replace old cells, or simply to ...

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 ...
