Arthur Kornberg compared DNA to a tape recording of instructions ... and does the process ever vary? In reality, the process of replication is far more complex than suggested by Kornberg's analogy.

Watson and Crick's discovery of DNA structure in 1953 revealed a possible mechanism for DNA replication. So why didn't Meselson and Stahl finally explain this mechanism until 1958 ...

We also discovered that this breakage mechanism only occurs at the beginning of the cell cycle phase, when DNA replication ...

We are interested in the mechanism of chromosome replication, a process that is highly conserved across eukaryotes and that involves the duplication of both the chromosomal DNA and its associated ...

chiefly because scientists lack the ability to closely observe the intricate process of replication. Attempts to do so have relied on chemicals that damage the DNA structure or strategies that ...

which is crucial for us to understand the molecular mechanism of DNA replication," said Dr. Shangyu Dang, Assistant Professor of Division of Life Science, HKUST, "This study also demonstrates the ...

The successful candidate will examine this mechanism using a combination of reconstitution biochemistry, biophysics and genetics. The starting point for the project is a reconstituted system for DNA ...

A research team from the University of California (UC), Irvine, has revealed a previously unknown mechanism that triggers an inflammatory immune response in cells when their DNA is damaged.

How cells respond to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage is not fully understood. This study uncovers a mechanism of mtDNA ...
