The maintenance of genome stability requires efficient leading strand synthesis by DNA Polymerase Epsilon (Polε). By performing CRISPR genetic screens in cells lacking the POLE4 subunit of Polε we ...
DNA replication is the fundamental process by which cells duplicate their genetic material before division. Initiation occurs at defined origins where a hexameric helicase unwinds the double helix, ...
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and collaborators have uncovered one of the earliest steps in DNA replication: the moment a cell first opens its DNA to begin making a copy ...
