Arthur Kornberg compared DNA to a tape recording of instructions ... and eukaryotic cells share many of the same basic features of replication; for instance, initiation requires a primer ...

DNA replication is one of the most basic processes that occurs within a cell. Each time a cell divides, the two resulting daughter cells must contain exactly the same genetic information ...

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.

Rebecca Roberts is a science writer and communicator. She earned her PhD in molecular biology from the University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia and completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at ...

A team has unearthed new findings about what happens during the minutes and hours after a cell divides, expanding our understanding of human biology -- and potentially leading to better medicines.

So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

Witness the fascinating world of DNA replication brought to life through magnetic ball experiments. These magnetic games use a unique visual approach to demonstrate how the building blocks of life ...

DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body ... “It holds important implications for our basic understanding of biology, but also for the development of new medicines for many ...

DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell ...

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