In reality, the process of replication is far more complex than suggested by Kornberg's analogy. Researchers typically utilize simple bacterial cells in their experiments, but they still do not ...

In recent years, bacterial cells have been shown to be spatially ... Unlike in eukaryotes, bacteria segregate their chromosomes while DNA replication is in progress. The chromosomal-origin regions ...

Caption 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 ...

A type of virus thought to be a "mere curiosity" is plentiful in one common bacteria, and possibly others, a Monash ...

As time progresses, these cells undergo filamentation ... mitomycin C and involved approximately 20% of the bacterial population. At peak replication, Phollow virocells contained an average ...

A study links the loss of DNA methylation across the genome—as is common in cancer—to the disruption of the 3-D compartments that organize the genome and to the timing of DNA replication. Cell lines ...

Researchers discovered that telomere phage is surprisingly common in Klebsiella, a type of bacteria that can cause pneumonia ...
