Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During ...

A research team has identified a new mechanism that controls DNA’s ability to replicate—and thereby a cell’s ability to divide.

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

Allison McClure, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the CU School of Medicine. She is focused on learning all about how cells replicate, or ...

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 ...

Prior to cell division, chromosomes are seemingly a jumbled mess. During cell division, parent cell chromosomes and their duplicates sort themselves out by condensing, becoming thousands of times more ...

Most of an animal cell’s DNA is stored in its nucleus, packaged into chromosomes that help maintain order. But cancer cells often carry another type of DNA: molecules separate from the rest of the ...

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO and BIO.B), a global leader in life science research and clinical diagnostics products, today announced the recent launch of the Vericheck ddPCR™ Replication ...

A new, nano-scale look at how the SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates in cells may offer greater precision in drug development, a Stanford University team reports in Nature Communications. Using advanced ...
