Life depends on double-stranded DNA unwinding and separating into single strands that can be copied for cell division. Scientists have determined at atomic resolution the structure of machinery that ...

Exactly how does the DNA replication process start? USC scientists provide the first snapshot of how double-helix DNA begins to unwind and replicate after certain proteins put on the “squeeze.” A ring ...

A team has unlocked a decades old mystery about how a critical cellular process called DNA replication is regulated. A team of Florida State University researchers has unlocked a decades-old mystery ...

DNA replication likes one direction. Not the boy band, but rather it prefers to replicate in a certain direction over the other. Publishing their findings in Science Advances, scientists have ...

Researchers used cryo-EM to study how the HIV enzyme integrase arranges in 3D to slip its DNA into the host genome and pack ...

Scientists from the Lomonosov Moscow State University in collaboration with their colleagues from the USA have conducted a research on DNA packaging in the cell nucleus and its alteration in the ...

They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.

The rate of HIV infection continues to climb globally. Around 40 million people live with HIV-1, the most common HIV strain.

Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...
