Creating such a complex biological module is an important step towards an even more ambitious goal: building a complete and functioning synthetic cell from the bottom up.

One potential reason for their fluctuating speed, Prof. Pigolotti speculates, is that there may be limits on resources needed for replication, such as nucleotides -- the building blocks of DNA.

Postmitotic myotubes cannot complete DNA replication following forced cell cycle reactivation. Comparative genomic ...

On the other hand, in the dispersive replication model, the original DNA double helix breaks apart into fragments, and each fragment then serves as a template for a new DNA fragment.

The manipulation of DNA replication and the adoption of advanced gene-editing technologies illustrate a remarkable convergence of scientific innovation and ethical considerations.

Technology DNA nanobots can exponentially self-replicate Tiny machines made from strands of DNA can build copies of themselves, leading to exponential replication.

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