The initiation of chromosome replication is exquisitely regulated in both time and location. It has been estimated that there are 200-400 autosomal replication sequence elements (ARSs) in the yeast ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have ...

Research into chromosome replication reveals details of heredity dynamics Date: March 3, 2011 Source: Karolinska Institutet Summary: A novel study has deepened the understanding of how chromosome ...

Apart from this reduction in chromosome number, meiosis differs from mitosis in yet another way. Specifically, meiosis creates new combinations of genetic material in each of the four daughter cells.

Publikation: 'Chromosome length influences replication-induced topological stress', Andreas Kegel, Hanna Betts-Lindroos, Takaharu Kanno, Kristian Jeppsson, Lena Ström, ...

As the replication fork progresses along parental DNA during chromosome replication, there is a build-up of topological stress ahead of the polymerase. Current models propose that linear ...

During the replication of the bacterial chromosome, genes close to the replication start point (red) exist in multiple copies, while genes close to the endpoint do not (blue). At faster growth ...

Chromosomes are the carriers of the genetic and epigenetic information and faithful chromosome replication is of fundamental importance for genome maintenance during normal cell proliferation. We ...

DNA Day 2019: How Nanotechnology Is Helping Us Map All the Locations Where DNA Replication Begins Published Apr 25, 2019 at 9:56 AM EDT Updated Apr 25, 2019 at 11:13 AM EDT Artist impression of DNA.

Each time a cell divides, a small section of each chromosome's protective cap—the telomere—is worn away. Most cells use an ...

Chromosomes are tightly coiled structures in each of your cells that contain DNA, the code for all life. DNA is organized in segments on chromosomes called genes. Humans typically have 46 ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- A novel study from Karolinska Institutet has deepened the understanding of how chromosome replication, one of life's most fundamental processes, works. In a long term perspective ...
