DNA replication occurs during the S phase of cell division. In E. coli, this means that the entire genome is replicated in just 40 minutes, at a pace of approximately 1,000 nucleotides per second.

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.

Telomere replication poses unique challenges. Here, the authors show that TRF1 prevents telomere fragility by promoting replication fork reversal, a process dependent on RNA:DNA hybrids and ...

DNA Day 2019: How Nanotechnology Is Helping Us Map All the Locations Where DNA Replication Begins Published Apr 25, 2019 at 9:56 AM EDT Updated Apr 25, 2019 at 11:13 AM EDT Artist impression of DNA.

DNA replication basics. The DNA double helix is made from two strands that run in opposite directions. Each strand is made of a series of bases, A, T, C and G, that pair up between the strands: A to T ...

Protein involved in balancing DNA replication and restarting found USP50 protein helps balance nuclease and helicase activity during critical processes ...

The first step in DNA replication requires the assembly of a group of proteins called the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC). Researchers have determined how the ORC assembles during the cell ...

Their findings, which were published March 7 in Science, one of world’s leading scientific journals, not only reveal new details about how secondary DNA structures like G4s can impede DNA replication, ...
