Surprisingly, forcing an acceleration of replication forks led to miscoordination between genome replication completion and cell cycle progression. Dr. Tsubouchi concludes, "We propose that slow ...

When an SSB appears, polymerase epsilon approaches the nick before retracing its steps thanks to its exonuclease, allowing fork reversal to take place. The nick is repaired as an SSB, and replication ...

These two images demonstrate synthetic lethality with a non-responsive cell line (right) compared to a responder to ATR ...

New research reveals that triggering a cell’s DNA damage response could be a promising avenue for developing novel treatments against several rare but devastating viruses for which no antiviral ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...
