Depending on the setting, the ability of a crucial bacterium in biotechnology—Agrobacterium tumefaciens—to transfer its DNA ...

Vibrio cholerae presents a unique model of bacterial genome organisation through its bipartite genome, comprising two distinct chromosomes that replicate in a carefully orchestrated manner. The ...

DNA replication dynamics in cells from higher eukaryotes follows very complex but highly efficient mechanisms. However, the principles behind initiation of potential replication origins and emergence ...

Chromosome Dynamics: Although genetic information is encoded in a one-dimensional array of DNA bases, all major DNA processes (replication, transcription and recombination) are controlled by changes ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 66, No. 2 (Jun. 15, 1970), pp. 365-369 (5 pages) Nalidixic acid has been used to interrupt DNA synthesis in ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Induction of prophage P2sig5 at 42 degrees caused replication of the bacterial chromosome in a dnaA mutant of Escherichia coli. The P2sig5 is ...

For biologists everywhere, April 25 is auspicious. It is DNA Day and commemorates the date in 1953 when scientists Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins published seminal ...

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 DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

Scientists have provided an explanation of how chromosomes undergo structural changes during cell differentiation. The human genome is made up of 46 chromosomes, each of which has a length of about ...

"Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas." Palindromes may be fun for linguaphiles, but these same-backward-as-forward phrases can be disastrous for your DNA, Tufts University researchers have found.
