DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates ...
The replication of DNA is initiated at particular sites on the genome called replication origins (ROs). Understanding the constraints that regulate the distribution of ROs across different organisms ...
Our lab studies the mechanism of eukaryotic chromosome replication. Chromosomes are the carriers of the genetic and epigenetic information and faithful chromosome replication is of fundamental ...
The research published in Nature on Dec. 25th, 2019, led by Dr. LI Guohong and Dr. ZHU Mingzhao from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has demonstrated that the histone ...
Researchers at the Smithsonian and around the world are working to sequence the genomes of every eukaryotic species on Earth in the next 10 years through the Earth BioGenome Project. Erin Malsbury ...
The genetic connections between DNA repair pathways and human cancer predisposition have fueled interest in the proteins that recognize and repair specific sites of DNA damage. The repair enzymes are ...
