A new iScience study shows that the error-prone polymerase Pol ι is induced in BRCA2-deficient mammary epithelial cells, ...

A new review in the Journal of Translational Medicine consolidates how the replication-initiation protein ORC1 safeguards ...

A discovery upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. The study show that DNA replication in early embryos is different from what past research has taught, and includes a period of ...

A multicancer genomic analysis links mitochondrial DNA copy number with mutation burden and gene expression relevant to ...

Every time a cell divides, its DNA is duplicated so that the two daughter cells have the same genetic material as their parent. This means that, millions of times a day, a biochemical wonder takes ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and collaborators have uncovered one of the earliest steps in DNA replication: the moment a cell first opens its DNA to begin making a copy ...

In research published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, researchers from the University of Birmingham have found that transcription start sites (TSS) have a significant role in determining ...

Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists report data from a new study providing evidence that random, unpredictable DNA copying "mistakes" account for nearly two-thirds of the mutations that ...

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 ...
