DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell divides ...

Combining long-read DNA sequencing with a predictive artificial intelligence model has provided new insights into DNA ...

Watson and Crick's discovery of DNA structure in 1953 revealed a possible mechanism for DNA replication. So why didn't Meselson and Stahl finally explain this mechanism until 1958 ...

In a study that appears in the journal Cell, scientists from San Francisco-based Gladstone Institutes—including co-first author Megan Ostrowski (left) and senior author Vijay Ramani, ...

DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell ...

A centrifuge was used to separate DNA molecules labeled with isotopes of different densities. This experiment revealed a pattern that supports the semiconservative model of DNA replication.

Genomic instability is a hallmark of cancers and age-related diseases. Our long-term goal is to understand how cells maintain genomic integrity to regulate lifespan and avoid tumorigenesis. Emerging ...

DNA is the molecule that holds the instructions for all living things. DNA achieves this feat of storing, coding and transferring biological information though its unique structure. Replication of ...

Nucleic acids like RNA not only stored genetic information but also catalyzed their own replication, mutating and evolving. This essential function may have driven the early stages of life on Earth.
