A new discovery by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) in Japan upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. Led by Ichiro Hiratani and colleagues, the ...
At the scale of individual cells, the human body is constantly in motion. Every second, millions of cells divide, particularly in tissues such as the bone marrow, intestine and skin; neurons and heart ...
Bacterial DNA replication is a highly coordinated process that ensures faithful genome duplication and cell division. Replication initiates at a single chromosomal origin (oriC) where multiple copies ...
