Scientists have found that DNA polymerases can write long, structured stretches of new genetic material without any template to copy. That finding reframes a long-known but overlooked behavior as a ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...
