Eukaryotic chromosomes replicate from multiple discrete loci termed origins of replication. These sites are first recognised by the origin recognition complex (ORC), which, together with Cdc6 and Cdt1 ...

DNA replication and repair mechanisms constitute the foundation of genomic integrity, ensuring that genetic information is faithfully duplicated and maintained across cell generations. Replication ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...
