If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally segregated, leading to genetic ...

At some point, RNA must have replicated itself before the evolutionary arrival of DNA and proteins, and now we might know how ...

Here we report the structure of an engineered replication terminator protein (RTP) of Bacillus subtilis in complex with a 21 base pair DNA by X-ray crystallography at 2.5 Å resolution.

Abstract Faithful chromosome segregation requires the removal of all DNA bridges physically linking chromatids before the completion of cell division ...

If DNA bridges remain between chromosomes after cell division, chromosomes become improperly segregated, resulting in genetic ...

Revising the structure and replication of DNA? Test your knowledge of the process and need for DNA replication with this Higher Biology quiz.

Researchers unveil the fractal globule structure of DNA, providing new insights into genome organization and its implications ...

Darwinian evolution says that complex systems arise through numerous successive, slight modifications that benefit the species' survival over many generations. However, we have shown that bacterial ...

A protein called PriC allows DNA replication to proceed in Escherichia coli when the complex that usually initiates this process is compromised.

A unique feature of HR is that it repairs the damage to the DNA in a highly accurate way. In eukaryotic cells (those with a ...

Can you briefly explain the concept of replication stress and its role in DNA repair? Liu: It's a really complicated topic. In really broad terms, replication stress is when the process of DNA ...
