DNA replication forks are frequently challenged and arrested by DNA lesions induced by endogenous or exogenous agents. In addition to DNA lesions, intrinsic replication-fork obstacles such as ...
Until now, the exact configuration of the replisome, a protein complex that unzips and copies DNA, has been unknown. After taking the first pictures of this complex, researchers were surprised to find ...
What happens to DNA replication when its components compete with other processes for access to the genome? Purified surface immobilized single GFP molecules on a slide (1). DNA replication is often ...
It may be time to update biology texts to reflect newly published data from a collaborative team of scientists at Rockefeller University, Stony Brook University, and the U.S. Department of Energy’s ...
Accurate DNA replication is essential for genome maintenance. Two recent reports have uncovered new molecular mechanisms controlling the termination phase of DNA replication in higher eukaryotes and ...
