The step, which is crucial for DNA replication in humans and other forms of life, had previously remained mysterious and had not been well studied in human DNA.

DNA Replication: Within the nucleus of every cell are long strings of DNA, the code that holds all the information needed to make and control every cell within a living organism.

For the first time, an elusive step in the process of human DNA replication has been demystified.

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 ...

This article describes the organization of mitochondrial DNA into nucleoids and the replication process, including initiation, elongation, termination and the involvement of polymerase enzymes.

A team has published pictures at very high atomic resolution of the multi-part protein complex that performs the very first step in the incredibly complex genome-replication dance that occurs when ...

While tracing the origin of this extra DNA, Daria Babushok, an MD/PhD student in the Kazazian lab, came up with the missing steps in the mechanism of retrotransposon replication.
