Bacteriophages deploy streamlined yet robust strategies to replicate their DNA within host cells. Replication typically initiates at defined viral origins recognised by phage-encoded initiator ...
Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) are central guardians of genome integrity, selectively coating exposed single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) intermediates that arise during replication, ...
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that quantitatively detects and maps reversed DNA replication forks with ...
Every time a cell copies its DNA, parts of the genome are exposed and vulnerable to damage or errors. Molecular biologist Simon Boulton is interested in how cells spot and repair damage to their DNA, ...
To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most genetic medicine uses viruses or double-stranded DNA to deliver genetic ...
