Termination of DNA replication occurs when two replication forks meet on the same stretch of DNA, during which the following events occur, although not necessarily in this order: forks converge until ...

Transcription and replication occur at high frequency in cells. As they share the same DNA template, a high incidence of encounters is expected between the transcription and replication machineries, ...

Unlike nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is circular in nature and organized as mitochondrial nucleoids comprised of DNA-protein complexes that are distributed in the matrix. It is also inherited ...

For 400 million years, a leading hypothesis claims, Earth was an “RNA World,” meaning that life must’ve first replicated from RNA before the arrival of proteins and DNA. Unfortunately, scientists have ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

Daphne, an eager computer-vision scientist, encounters a novel study highly relevant to her autonomous vehicles research. The study uses computational methods to reveal hidden driving patterns. Aware ...

Psychology got rocked last year by a report that many of the field’s published results vanish in repeat experiments. But that disturbing study sounded a false alarm, a controversial analysis finds.

Tech giants dominate research but the line between real breakthrough and product showcase can be fuzzy. Some scientists have had enough. Last month Nature published a damning response written by 31 ...
