Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life. A new study from King ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

Replication timing (RT), the temporal order in which genomic regions replicate, is considered a functional feature of multiple cellular processes and chromatin organization. Two approaches to measure ...

Further investigation suggested that this behavior was due to replication stress, an impaired ability of cells to copy their DNA in preparation for cell division. Further experiments showed that ...

A new study has uncovered a hidden step that helps the deadliest malaria parasite survive and multiply inside the human body. Researchers studying Plasmodium falciparum found that the parasite relies ...
