Franklin W. Stahl, an American molecular biologist whose landmark 1957-58 experiment with colleague Matthew Meselson revealed ...

NEET 2026 aspirants should strategically prioritize Biology chapters, as it constitutes 50% of the exam. Human Physiology and ...

In a cell, DNA replication begins at specific locations in the genome, called "origins". Unwinding of DNA at the origin, and synthesis of new strands, forms a replication fork.

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

But this fundamental aspect of human biology has been poorly understood, chiefly because scientists lack the ability to closely observe the intricate process of replication. Attempts to do so have ...

Recent findings reveal that early mouse embryos replicate their DNA in a unique, uniform manner, which changes after the embryo grows beyond four cells. This early-stage replication is slower and more ...

DNA replication initiates from multiple replication origins (ORIs) in eukaryotes. Discovery and characterization of replication origins are essential for a better understanding of the molecular ...

Researchers have demonstrated a programmable nano-scale robot, made from a few strands of DNA, that's capable of grabbing other snippets of DNA, and positioning them together to manufacture new UV ...

Technology DNA nanobots can exponentially self-replicate Tiny machines made from strands of DNA can build copies of themselves, leading to exponential replication. Similar devices could one day be ...

Image: A list of the sequence of bases in a DNA molecule Researchers have gained a clearer insight into how common alterations to the structure of DNA affect the process of DNA replication. These ...
