Researchers at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) have identified how a key enzyme called ATR protects DNA from ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified an alternate method to study changes during the DNA replication process in lab settings using genetically modified yeast. The new approach offers a clearer window than ...

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 ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...

DNA repair mechanism: HELQ helicase remodels stalled replication forks into stable structures, preventing harmful mutations under replication stress. Advanced imaging tool: RF-SIRF maps reversed forks ...
