Organelle DNA replication is coupled to nuclear DNA replication in plant cells. In the red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae, a plastid signalling molecule, Mg-ProtoIX, binds the F-box SCF ubiquitin ...

Elevated levels of extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA or spcDNA) are closely associated with genomic instability and aging. Despite extensive studies, the mechanism of its generation in ...

DNA Ligase. If you'll recall, sequencing a stretch of DNA required you to have a short piece of known sequence next to the part you want to sequence in order to prime the DNA polymerase and ensure ...

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 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 ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars ...

A new study has shown that the electrical wire-like behavior of DNA is involved in the molecule's replication. In the early 1990s, Jacqueline Barton, the John G. Kirkwood and Arthur A. Noyes ...

Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies. The findings visualize for ...

In a study recently published in Science, a research team from the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the working mechanism of Monkeypox virus (MPXV) DNA polymerase.

In the early 1990s, Jacqueline Barton, the John G. Kirkwood and Arthur A. Noyes Professor of Chemistry at Caltech, discovered an unexpected property of DNA—that it can act like an electrical ...

The DNA polymerases are enzymes that create DNA molecules by assembling nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA. These enzymes are essential to DNA replication and usually work in pairs to create ...
