The two strands of DNA, although chemically equivalent, are replicated and repaired asymmetrically. Insights into the persistence of DNA damage show how strand-specific interactions shape the ...
A newly mapped step in DNA replication suggests that strand separation begins at a precise junction between two helicase rings. Credit: Shutterstock Researchers mapped where DNA first opens and how a ...
As DNA strands ravel and unravel in an intricate dance, one notable event takes center stage: replication. This process is essential to life, but the finer details of its orchestrated steps are still ...
