For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life. A new study from King ...

The first step in DNA replication requires the assembly of a group of proteins called the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC). Researchers have determined how the ORC assembles during the cell division ...

They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.

Visualizing and quantifying DNA replication dynamics in living human cells remains challenging. Here, a new super-resolution ...

Picture in your mind a traditional “landline” telephone with a coiled cord connecting the handset to the phone. The coiled telephone cord and the DNA double helix that stores the genetic material in ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell ...
