In all living organisms, proliferating cells go through the fundamental process of DNA replication. Through this process, they faithfully duplicate their DNA and divide into two daughter cells. In ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, plays a ...

Professor Norikazu Ichihashi and his colleagues at the University of Tokyo have successfully induced gene expression from a DNA, characteristic of all life, and evolution through continuous ...

A research team has identified a new mechanism that controls DNA’s ability to replicate—and thereby a cell’s ability to ...

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed "molecular movie" showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level – revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

Mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) plays a crucial role in energy production and abnormalities in mtDNA are linked to various diseases. However, its regulatory mechanism remains ...
