Vibrio cholerae presents a unique model of bacterial genome organisation through its bipartite genome, comprising two distinct chromosomes that replicate in a carefully orchestrated manner. The ...

Researchers from Skoltech, the University of Potsdam, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered a ...

DNA replication dynamics in cells from higher eukaryotes follows very complex but highly efficient mechanisms. However, the principles behind initiation of potential replication origins and emergence ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 75, No. 3 (Mar., 1978), pp. 1470-1474 (5 pages) The pattern of terminal replication of the human chromosomes in a ...

Chromosome Dynamics: Although genetic information is encoded in a one-dimensional array of DNA bases, all major DNA processes (replication, transcription and recombination) are controlled by changes ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In eucaryotic cells chromosomes must be fully replicated and repaired before mitosis begins. Genetic studies indicate that this dependence of ...

For biologists everywhere, April 25 is auspicious. It is DNA Day and commemorates the date in 1953 when scientists Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins published seminal ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

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 ...

Scientists have provided an explanation of how chromosomes undergo structural changes during cell differentiation. The human genome is made up of 46 chromosomes, each of which has a length of about ...

Telomeres are crucial parts of the chromosome that act to protect them and ensure DNA replication is performed effectively. Mutations and defects with telomeres can cause a multitude of health ...
