Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the ...

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 ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

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 ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

New research shows hydroxyurea reshapes DNA replication in cancer cells, revealing stress responses that may help design ...

The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...

King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST)Mar 19 2025 For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA ...

A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the ...
