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 ...

The precise temporal control of DNA replication and the coordinated activation of repair pathways are fundamental to genome stability. Eukaryotic chromosomes replicate in a defined programme during S ...

An international research team has recovered ancient human mitochondrial and nuclear DNA directly from cave wall materials in ...

A new discovery by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) in Japan upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. Led by Ichiro Hiratani and colleagues, the ...
