A new study has revealed how the fundamental enzyme called DNA polymerase delta operates during DNA replication, making a copy of the genetic code that can be transmitted through the generations.

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes ...

Scientists have deciphered molecular-level details of the complex choreography by which intricate cellular proteins recognize and bind to DNA to start the DNA replication process. The research may ...

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.

DNA replication machinery captured at atom-level detail Scientists reveal a crystal structure that illustrates a mechanism that powers and possibly starts DNA replication Date: July 15, 2019 ...

DNA replication and repair are critical processes that ensure the correct genetic material of a biological system is carried on. DNA continually undergoes a process of replication and division and ...

Site-specific initiation of DNA replication is a conserved function in all organisms. In Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, DNA replication origins are sequence specific, but in ...

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