Brandt Eichman and Walter Chazin, professors of biochemistry, have worked together to provide a better understanding of how exactly DNA replication is initiated in eukaryotes. Using Vanderbilt's state ...

Researchers led by University of Tsukuba have discovered rdxPolA, a putative DNA polymerase involved in replicating ancestral mitochondrial genomes, in diverse eukaryotic lineages. Based on the ...

Translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) is a specialised branch of the DNA damage tolerance pathway that enables eukaryotic cells to replicate past lesions that would otherwise stall the replication machinery ...

An investigation into cellular components in bacteria has unexpectedly uncovered a feature with relevance across many life forms, paving the way for diverse research, biotechnical and medical ...

In biology you must have come across the two types of cells, the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. These two are the most fundamental forms of life on earth. Everything living from the bacteria on ...
