As in eukaryotes, recombination also plays important roles in DNA repair and replication in prokaryotic organisms.

For all species, the process of DNA replication requires the use of multiple different DNA polymerase enzymes.

Most prokaryotes have a circular genome that is simply copied and then put into a daughter cell, while the replication of chromosomes, and the careful segregation of the new copies into two new cells ...

We briefly review the mechanism of termination in the bacterium Escherichia coli and in simian virus 40 (SV40) and also focus on recent advances in eukaryotic replication termination.

Chromatin remodeling is an important mechanism of regulating eukaryotic gene expression, which makes tightly condensed DNA accessible to various regulatory factors, such as transcription factors ...

Eukaryotic cytosine methylation represses transcription but also occurs in the bodies of active genes, and the extent of methylation biology conservation is unclear. We quantified DNA methylation in ...
