Brandt Eichman and Walter Chazin, professors of biochemistry, have worked together to provide a better understanding of how exactly DNA replication is initiated in eukaryotes. Using Vanderbilt's state ...
Eukaryotic DNA replication relies on a highly orchestrated series of events centred on the Cdc45–MCM–GINS (CMG) helicase complex. Origin licensing begins in G1 phase with loading of a double hexamer ...
Researchers led by University of Tsukuba have discovered rdxPolA, a putative DNA polymerase involved in replicating ancestral mitochondrial genomes, in diverse eukaryotic lineages. Based on the ...
Break-induced replication (BIR) is a specialised repair pathway activated when only one end of a DNA double-strand break (DSB) can locate homologous sequences elsewhere in the genome. Unlike canonical ...
