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 ...

During replication, DNA polymerases are positioned on each strand of DNA . Using a microscope slide as an anchor, we tethered DNA to a bead and stretched it with a flow of solution. We tracked how the ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...

A research team from Skoltech, the Institute of Physical, Chemical, and Biological Problems of Soil Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and other scientific organizations in Russia and the U.S ...
