Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the intricate processes governing how DNA works and organizes itself in 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 ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...

New research shows hydroxyurea reshapes DNA replication in cancer cells, revealing stress responses that may help design ...

Franklin W. Stahl, an American molecular biologist whose landmark 1957-58 experiment with colleague Matthew Meselson revealed how DNA replicates, helping pave the way for a revolution in genetics ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. The publication of two papers ...
