A new study finds that when p53, one of the most important cancer-protecting genes, stops working, cells produce too much RNA ...

A new discovery by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) in Japan upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. Led by Ichiro Hiratani and colleagues, the ...

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

Researchers mapped RNA fragments embedded in human DNA, revealing a new genomic layer called the "ribome" that may shape gene ...

If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and the middle. Is everything packed? What time should we leave? Will there be ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...

Eukaryotic DNA replication is initiated at multiple origins through a tightly regulated sequence of events: origin licensing, helicase activation and assembly of the replisome. The replicative ...
