A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals that cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) promote DNA replication licensing in human cells by relieving inhibitory signals ...

If you uncoiled the DNA in one cell, it would stretch about two meters
Every human cell packs roughly two meters of DNA into a nucleus only six micrometers wide. That ratio, confirmed by ...
Genome-wide studies of fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) suggest that the evolutionary conserved enzyme Pfh1 helicase facilitates DNA synthesis by tracking along with the replication apparatus ...
Ribonucleotides are frequently misincorporated into DNA during replication, arising from imperfect sugar discrimination by DNA polymerases and high intracellular ribonucleotide triphosphate pools.
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...
When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...
DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...
Scaffolded DNA and RNA origami is a technique that allows scientists to build tiny, highly precise two- and three-dimensional ...

The DNA from a single human cell would stretch about two meters if pulled into a line
Stretched into a single line, the DNA packed inside one human cell would reach roughly two meters, yet it folds into a ...
DNA is composed of long chains that act as the blueprint for living organisms. In genetic engineering, scientists cut DNA at ...
