During initiation, so-called initiator proteins bind to the replication origin, a base-pair sequence of nucleotides known as oriC.This binding triggers events that unwind the DNA double helix into ...

Kyle Klein, a Ph.D. student in my lab, labeled living human stem cells with red fluorescent molecules that marked locations where DNA replication was taking place, which were mapped with the ...

DNA Polymerase enzyme syntheses labeled educational vector illustration. Image Credit: VectorMine / Shutterstock. Every time a cell divides, DNA polymerase is required to help duplicate the cell ...

Watson and Crick's discovery of DNA structure in 1953 revealed a possible mechanism for DNA replication. So why didn't Meselson and Stahl finally explain this mechanism until 1958?

In the DNA fiber assay used in this study, cells labeled with IdU (green) and CldU (red) nucleotide analogs were sorted into substages of S phase before being subjected to the DNA fiber assay.
