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 ...
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it," goes the old adage, which Rice University professor James Chappell completely ignored in a ...
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 aging, cancer, ...
Researchers found that SMC proteins drive bacterial DNA separation by compacting chromosomes lengthwise, generating repulsive ...
More than 500,000 people in the United States die each year of cancer-related causes. Now, emerging research has identified the mechanism behind one of the most common mutations that help cancer cells ...
A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows membrane (green cubes), and ribosomes (yellow/purple) ...
The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...
