New findings suggest the end-replication problem, an old standby of biology textbooks, is twice as intricate as once thought. Half a century ago, scientists Jim Watson and Alexey Olovnikov ...
How replication is stopped on the other strand—the "lagging strand"—has been a mystery. In the study, the researchers used cryo-electron microscopy, CRISPR-based mutation analyses, and other advanced ...
As DNA strands ravel and unravel in an intricate dance, one notable event takes center stage: replication. This process is essential to life, but the finer details of its orchestrated steps are still ...
