DNA synthesis articles from across Nature Portfolio DNA synthesis is the biological process by which a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule is created. In the cell, each of the two strands of the ...

It follows a previous report showing that the Werner syndrome protein WRN and its interacting protein WRNIP1 are indispensable for translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) by Y-family DNA polymerases (Pols).

Here, Dhanaraju et al. identify a sequence element and its interacting protein required for DNA replication initiation in the model archaeon Sulfolobus islandicus.

In a cell, DNA replication begins at specific locations in the genome, called "origins". Unwinding of DNA at the origin, and synthesis of new strands, forms a replication fork.

A strategy that analyzes the structural properties of RNA could help identify regions that are promising targets for antiviral drugs.

UCSF researchers recently created the world's first shape-shifting synthetic proteins using artificial intelligence (AI). The ...

Plant RNA viruses pose a significant threat to global agriculture, affecting a vast array of crop species and leading to ...
