Researchers at the University of Bristol have caught DNA-copying enzymes generating long stretches of genetic code without any template to guide them, a behavior the team calls “doodling.” Published ...

Researchers discovered a kinase-driven phosphorylation switch that activates DNA packaging machinery, aligning nucleosomes at ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.

Scientists used a bacterial system called retron to turn DNA into a programmable tool inside living cells, enabling gene ...

Researchers have identified a physical process called “mitochondrial pearling” that explains how cells keep their ...

The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...

A study conducted in fruit flies by investigators at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has linked a patient variant of ...

Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...
