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 ...

For a cell to divide, all the DNA inside the cell (the genome) must first be copied, in a process called DNA replication.

THUWAL, Saudi Arabia — Scientists have finally captured footage of the microscopic machinery that allows our cells to copy DNA—a fundamental process necessary for life itself. Using a ...

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

The process, researchers found, is much more dynamic than previously realized. Scientists hope their continued study of DNA replication can help them better understand how mistakes occur, as well ...

Replication is the process by which a cell copies its DNA prior to division. In humans, for example, each parent cell must copy its entire six billion base pairs of DNA before undergoing mitosis.

The proteins that drive DNA replication—the force behind cellular growth and reproduction—are some of the most complex machines on Earth. The multistep replication process involves hundreds of ...

A team has unlocked a decades old mystery about how a critical cellular process called DNA replication is regulated.
