Brandt Eichman and Walter Chazin, professors of biochemistry, have worked together to provide a better understanding of how exactly DNA replication is initiated in eukaryotes. Using Vanderbilt's state ...

Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study. In a new paper published in Nature Communications, an ...
