An epigenome-wide study of 1,527 Korean adults confirms core lipid–methylation loci and links ABCG1 methylation to the ...

Human genomic DNA is wrapped around core histone proteins to form nucleosomes, the fundamental units of chromatin. During ...

Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment has been the focus of a 30-year research question. New work from the Crick ...

A new discovery by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) in Japan upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. Led by Ichiro Hiratani and colleagues, the ...

If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and the middle. Is everything packed? What time should we leave? Will there be ...

DNA replication in eukaryotic cells is a highly coordinated, multi-step process that ensures precise duplication of the genome prior to cell division. In late mitosis and early G1 phase, the Origin ...

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, ...

Human genomic DNA is wrapped around core histone proteins to form nucleosomes, the fundamental units of chromatin.

Researchers at the Center for Embryology and Healthy Development (CRESCO) aim to find out why so many early embryos fail in their development. New insights into how maternal and paternal DNA is ...

Human genomic DNA is wrapped around core histone proteins to form nucleosomes, the fundamental units of chromatin. During interphase, the period ...
