A protein thought to play a supporting role in DNA replication actually facilitates the whole process
Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...
Failure to repair DNA damage can result in DNA lesions and mutations that are a driving factors in cancer development. Recent work has identified a function for DNA damage repair mechanism beyond ...
The results of this collaborative project overturn some conventional wisdom about how the DNA repair process works. DNA is often likened to a blueprint. The particular sequence of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts ...
Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...
Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...
