When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it," goes the old adage, which Rice University professor James Chappell completely ignored in a recent Nature Communications publication. In the study, Chappell describes ...

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 ...
