  2. DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_replication

    In contrast, DNA Pol I is the enzyme responsible for replacing RNA primers with DNA. DNA Pol I has a 5′ to 3′ exonuclease activity in addition to its polymerase activity, and uses its exonuclease activity to degrade the RNA primers ahead of it as it extends the DNA strand behind it, in a process called nick translation. Pol I is much less ...

  3. Semiconservative replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconservative_replication

    This process is known as semi-conservative replication because two copies of the original DNA molecule are produced, each copy conserving (replicating) the information from one half of the original DNA molecule. [1] [2] Each copy contains one original strand and one newly synthesized strand. (Both copies should be identical, but this is not ...

  5. Eukaryotic DNA replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_DNA_replication

    [1] The replisome is responsible for copying the entirety of genomic DNA in each proliferative cell. This process allows for the high-fidelity passage of hereditary/genetic information from parental cell to daughter cell and is thus essential to all organisms. Much of the cell cycle is built around ensuring that DNA replication occurs without ...

  6. Ribonucleotide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribonucleotide

    Both types of pentoses in DNA and RNA are in their β-furanose (closed five-membered ring) form and they define the identity of a nucleic acid. DNA is defined by containing 2'-deoxy-ribose nucleic acid while RNA is defined by containing ribose nucleic acid. [1] In some occasions, DNA and RNA may contain some minor bases.

  7. Cot analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cot_analysis

    C 0 t analysis, a technique based on the principles of DNA reassociation kinetics, is a biochemical technique that measures how much repetitive DNA is in a DNA sample such as a genome. [1] It is used to study genome structure and organization and has also been used to simplify the sequencing of genomes that contain large amounts of repetitive ...

  8. Copy number analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy_number_analysis

    Copy number analysis is the process of analyzing data produced by a test for DNA copy number variation in an organism's sample. One application of such analysis is the detection of chromosomal copy number variation that may cause or may increase risks of various critical disorders.

  9. Origin of replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_replication

    More than five decades ago, Jacob, Brenner, and Cuzin proposed the replicon hypothesis to explain the regulation of chromosomal DNA synthesis in E. coli. [18] The model postulates that a diffusible, trans-acting factor, a so-called initiator, interacts with a cis-acting DNA element, the replicator, to promote replication onset at a nearby origin.
