October 16, 2014 A scientific team says it has pinpointed the crucial steps in the beginning of the DNA replication process, including surprising structural details about the enzyme that unzips ...

For the first time, an elusive step in the process of human DNA replication has been demystified.

Here we describe a procedure to isolate proteins on nascent DNA (iPOND) that permits a high-resolution spatiotemporal analysis of proteins at replication forks or on chromatin following DNA ...

Fruit flies make for stingy mothers, imparting only a portion of the genetic building blocks their offspring need to survive. The rest must be produced by the fertilized egg in its first few steps ...
