Statement 1: DNA synthesis always proceeds in the 5' to 3' direction.

Why it's false: While DNA replication is highly accurate, it's not perfect. DNA polymerase has a proofreading function, but ...

Solution to duplicating the eukaryotic genome 3 billion bps in the human genome. About 50,000 replication origins/genome. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news ...

The research published in Nature on Dec. 25th, 2019, led by Dr. LI Guohong and Dr. ZHU Mingzhao from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has demonstrated that the histone ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular aging, cancer, ...

The universal features that define genomic regions acting as replication origins remain unclear. In this study, we mapped a set of origins in Trypanosoma brucei using stranded short nascent strand ...
