Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies published in the journals Science ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST)Mar 19 2025 For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA ...

As cells divide, they must copy all of their chromosomes once and only once, or chaos would ensue. How do they do it? By Amber Dance/Knowable Magazine Published Jul 7, 2023 6:00 PM EDT This article ...

“Our lab is generally interested in discovering and characterizing previously unknown or poorly understood factors that are essential for genome maintenance. This is particularly important in the ...

DNA replication is a complex process with many moving parts. In baker's yeast, the molecular complex Ctf18-RFC keeps parts of the replication machinery from falling off the DNA strand. Human cells use ...
