Replication is nature’s greatest magic trick. Watch closely, and before your very eyes you’ll see a single cell blur into two virtually identical copies. Presto.
After more than half a century of research on molecular genetics, it would be easy to assume we’ve had this biological sleight-of-hand all figured out – but it’s not the case. Now, by applying cutting edge technology, researchers have uncovered crucial details showing how DNA times its own replication.”It’s been quite a mystery,” says molecular biologist David Gilbert from Florida State University.
