In all living organisms, proliferating cells go through the fundamental process of DNA replication. Through this process, they faithfully duplicate their DNA and divide into two daughter cells. In ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...
