Ending a two-decade search, investigators have experimental evidence that two replication forks diverging from a single origin are held together in space. Tomoyuki Tanaka and his colleagues at the ...

For the first time ever, scientists have captured a single DNA molecule replicating on video ... “It’s a different way of thinking about replication that raises new questions,” Stephen ...

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 ...

The replication fork is more than just a means for DNA duplication. It is connected to a checkpoint system that keeps the genome intact and prevents cancer. Aa Aa Aa Eukaryotic genomes are ...

A study links the loss of DNA methylation across the genome—as is common in cancer—to the disruption of the 3-D compartments that organize the genome and to the timing of DNA replication. Cell lines ...
