Background The initiation of DNA replication is a very important and highly regulated step in
the cell division cycle. It is of interest to compare different groups of eukaryotic organisms (a) …

Intrinsically bent DNA is an alternative conformation of the DNA molecule caused by the
presence of dA/dT tracts, 2 to 6 bp long, in a helical turn phase DNA or with multiple intervals …

Progress in Botany is devoted to all the colourful aspects of plant biology. The annual
volumes consist of invited reviews spanning the fields of molecular genetics, cell biology …

In common with other eukaryotes, plant DNA is organised for replication as multiple
replicons. A key event is the recognition of origins by the origin-recognition complex (ORC) …

We propose a method for the characterization of the local intrinsic curvature of adsorbed
DNA molecules. It relies on a novel statistical chain descriptor, namely the ensemble …

Bent DNA sites promote the curvature of DNA in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic
chromosomes. Here, we investigate the localization and structure of intrinsically bent DNA …

Transcription implies recruitment of RNA polymerase II and transcription factors (TFs) by
DNA melting near transcription start site (TSS). Combining atomic force microscopy and …

DNA replication is an essential cellular process for the propagation of life. Prokaryotic cells
are examples of organisms that display a fast and precise replication process (Robinson & …

Identification of the nucleotide consensus sequence in mammalian replication origins is a
difficult and controversial problem. The hypothesis that local DNA topology could be …
