As the double helix unwinds, it creates a loop known as the replication bubble, with each newly separated single strand serving as a template for DNA synthesis. Replication occurs as the double ...

During DNA replication, special enzymes move up along the DNA ladder, unzipping the molecule as it moves along. New nucleotides move in to each side of the unzipped ladder. The bases on these ...

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 ...

In eukaryotes, DNA replication initiates at many replication origins that are distributed along the length of each chromosome arm. At each origin, two replication forks are established that travel in ...
