DNA replication is a fundamental process for a cell to ensure that an accurate copy of its genetic material is transmitted to daughter cells at each cell division. Challenges to DNA replication ...

The rate of HIV infection continues to climb globally. Around 40 million people live with HIV-1, the most common HIV strain.

Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...

They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study. In a new paper published in Nature Communications, an ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell ...

Every person starts as just one fertilized egg. By adulthood, that single cell has turned into roughly 37 trillion cells, many of which keep dividing to create the same amount of fresh human cells ...
