Two sibling DNA polymerases synthesize most of the eukaryotic nuclear genome. A new study provides insights into the distinct protein interactions that deliver these replicases for asymmetric leading- ...

Half a century ago, scientists Jim Watson and Alexey Olovnikov independently realized that there was a problem with how our DNA gets copied. A quirk of linear DNA replication dictated that telomeres ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 113, No. 21 (May 24, 2016), pp. 5916-5921 (6 pages) DNA replication occurs semidiscontinuously due to the ...

For the first time ever, scientists have captured a single DNA molecule replicating on video — and it’s changing the way we think about the entire process. One of the most surprising findings is how ...
