Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment ...
Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...
DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs)—dATP, dTTP, dGTP, and dCTP. Cells constantly need these molecules ...
The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...

Human DNA just stopped mutating. Here’s how it ends us
Your DNA is constantly changing. And if it weren’t for genetic mutations, evolution wouldn’t exist. So, what would life be ...
A representative figure showing that HELQ-deficient cells fail to undergo normal fork slowing after MMC (a crosslinking agent) treatment, consistent with defective fork reversal. Every time a cell ...
