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

The determination of the genome sequences of various species, which began before the turn of the millennium, sparked another revolution: functional genetic interrogation at the genome-wide level. The ...

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 ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...

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 ...
