The mitochondrial genome of Trypanosoma brucei is uniquely organised as a kinetoplast, a highly complex network composed of thousands of minicircles and a smaller number of maxicircles. This structure ...
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 ...
For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...
Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, plays a ...
The DNA damage response is essential for maintaining genome integrity. When DNA damage or replication stress occurs, a checkpoint signaling pathway is activated to arrest the cell cycle and initiate ...
