Scientists say their work on a critical step in DNA replication will provide new insights into a fundamental process of life and driver of many different diseases, including cancer. They report ...

In bacteria, to start DNA replication, two replisomes attach to the DNA at a set origin point and head in opposite directions along the loop of DNA, copying DNA until they meet on the other side.

A protein that prepares DNA for replication also prevents the replication process from running out of control, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers.

Scientists were able to watch the replication using proteins found inside jellyfish. Researchers engineered bacteria cells with the fluorescent proteins attached to important molecular machinery.

New model for replication of BKPyV virus, a major cause of kidney transplant failure Date: December 6, 2024 Source: University of Alabama at Birmingham Summary: BK polyomavirus, or BKPyV, is a ...

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

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...
