Key Cell Division Limiting Factor Identified

A research team has identified a new mechanism that controls DNA’s ability to replicate—and thereby a cell’s ability to ...

A protein thought to play a supporting role in DNA replication actually facilitates the whole process

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...
