Researchers at the University of Bristol have caught DNA-copying enzymes generating long stretches of genetic code without any template to guide them, a behavior the team calls “doodling.” Published ...

A new iScience study shows that the error-prone polymerase Pol ι is induced in BRCA2-deficient mammary epithelial cells, ...

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 ...

DNA replication and repair mechanisms constitute the foundation of genomic integrity, ensuring that genetic information is faithfully duplicated and maintained across cell generations. Replication ...

Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists as part of a DNA-protein complex known as chromatin. For this purpose, the ...

High-speed atomic force microscopy reveals how enzymes find and break apart vulnerable regions of DNA while tightly packed structures resist degradation KANAZAWA, Japan, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...

Eukaryotic DNA replication relies on a highly orchestrated series of events centred on the Cdc45–MCM–GINS (CMG) helicase complex. Origin licensing begins in G1 phase with loading of a double hexamer ...

A new family of enzymes enables precise cuts in single-stranded DNA, offering powerful new tools for genetic engineering and expanding possibilities in biotechnology. (Nanowerk News) A few years ago, ...
