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

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 ...

A novel study has deepened the understanding of how chromosome replication, one of life's most fundamental processes, works. In a long term perspective these results could eventually lead to novel ...

Replication and Distribution of DNA during Meiosis Like mitosis, meiosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division.

A novel study from the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet has deepened the understanding of how chromosome replication, one of life's most fundamental processes, works. In a long ...

During replication, topological stress builds ahead of the polymerase. Current models propose that linear eukaryotic chromosomes are divided into topological domains, and that stress is relieved ...

One Reason Why Chromosomes Break, Often Leading To Cancer Date: August 6, 2007 Source: Tufts University Summary: In the past 10 years, researchers in genome stability have observed that many kinds ...

Our lab studies the mechanism of eukaryotic chromosome replication. Chromosomes are the carriers of the genetic and epigenetic information and faithful chromosome replication is of fundamental ...

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 ...

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