The replication crisis does not necessarily mean these fields are unscientific. [16] [17] [18] Rather, this process is part of the scientific process in which old ideas or those that cannot withstand careful scrutiny are pruned, [19] [20] although this pruning process is not always effective. [21] [22]
Slipped strand mispairing (SSM, also known as replication slippage) is a mutation process which occurs during DNA replication. It involves denaturation and displacement of the DNA strands, resulting in mispairing of the complementary bases. Slipped strand mispairing is one explanation for the origin and evolution of repetitive DNA sequences. [1]
The typical normal human fetal cell will divide between 50 and 70 times before experiencing senescence. As the cell divides, the telomeres on the ends of chromosomes shorten. The Hayflick limit is the limit on cell replication imposed by the shortening of telomeres with each division. This end stage is known as cellular senescence.
All known mechanisms that prevent DNA rereplication in eukaryotic organisms inhibit origin licensing. [1] Origin licensing is the preliminary step for normal replication initiation during late G1 and early S phase and involves the recruitment of the pre-replicative complex (pre-RC) to the replication origins.
The accumulation of damage, to be specific, double-strand breaks or adducts stalling the replication forks, are among known stimulation signals for a global response to DNA damage. [46] The global response to damage is an act directed toward the cells' own preservation and triggers multiple pathways of macromolecular repair, lesion bypass ...
DNA damages cause changes in the structure of the genetic material and prevents the replication mechanism from functioning and performing properly. [1] The DNA damage response (DDR) is a complex signal transduction pathway which recognizes when DNA is damaged and initiates the cellular response to the damage.
Replication (scientific method), one of the main principles of the scientific method, a.k.a. reproducibility Replication (statistics), the repetition of a test or complete experiment; Replication crisis; Self-replication, the process in which an entity (a cell, virus, program, etc.) makes a copy of itself
This mechanism is conserved from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and is known as semiconservative DNA replication. The process of semiconservative replication for the site of DNA replication is a fork-like DNA structure, the replication fork, where the DNA helix is open, or unwound, exposing unpaired DNA nucleotides for recognition and base pairing ...
