Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life. A new study from King ...

Brandt Eichman and Walter Chazin, professors of biochemistry, have worked together to provide a better understanding of how exactly DNA replication is initiated in eukaryotes. Using Vanderbilt's state ...

Fig. 4: The process of establishment of pre-RCs at an S. cerevisiae origin in which the B2 domain is separated from the A and B1 origin elements. This Review focuses on the first step in eukaryotic ...

A major obstacle to studying DNA replication is that it involves asynchronous and highly delocalized events. A reversible replication barrier overcomes this limitation and allows replication fork ...
