Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

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 ...

Researchers have resolved the first high-resolution structures of the herpes simplex virus origin-binding protein (OBP), revealing unexpected mechanisms of viral DNA replication and uncovering ...

A new study shows that DNA forms coils under stress, not the tangled knots that scientists expected. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...
