Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

"They're wriggling around in there, and the mechanics of what they do is very important for understanding how DNA replication works or developing drugs to target a certain mechanism," Hall said.

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 ...

“Our lab is generally interested in discovering and characterizing previously unknown or poorly understood factors that are essential for genome maintenance. This is particularly important in the ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...
