In all living organisms, proliferating cells go through the fundamental process of DNA replication. Through this process, they faithfully duplicate their DNA and divide into two daughter cells. In ...

An enduring mystery of 'lagging strand' DNA replication The DNA replication process is carried out by multiple protein complexes with highly specialized functions, including the unwinding of DNA and ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...

There has been tremendous progress in the past few years regarding our understanding of DNA replication in eukaryotes, both yeast and mammals. Many important questions in the field are poised to be ...

Segmental copy-number gains are major contributors to human genetic variation and disease, but how these alterations arise remains incompletely understood. Here, based on the analyses of both ...
