Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication is fundamental to life, yet the precise mechanics of how helicases unwind the genome for replication remain unclear. A recent study published in Nature used ...

Researchers have identified a molecular brake that limits DNA replication in healthy cells, revealing how cells prevent a long-suspected replication catastrophe and pointing to a potential ...

Our DNA is made of millions of combinations of the genomes that create the human body. Even the smallest changes in these sequences, or in how they act, can change the functioning of the whole body ...
