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.

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 ...

A scientific team says it have pinpointed the crucial steps in the beginning of the DNA replication process, including surprising structural details about the enzyme that unzips and splits the ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

The first section of the book, Cellular DNA Replication, begins with an excellent overview of genome duplication by Thomas J. Kelly and Bruce Stillman, followed by chapters on specific steps in ...

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.
