Prokaryotic cells, which include bacteria, undergo a type of cell division known as binary fission. This process involves replication of the cell's chromosomes, segregation of the copied DNA ...

Watson and Crick's discovery of DNA structure in 1953 revealed a possible mechanism for DNA replication. So why didn't Meselson and Stahl finally explain this mechanism until 1958 ...

suggesting that DNA replication problems are critical drivers of genomic instability that promotes aging and tumorigenesis. The Noguchi Lab works with mammalian cells and fission yeast ...
