Restarting Stalled Replication Forks

6.3K
DNA replication is initiated at sites containing predefined DNA sequences known as origins of replication. DNA is unwound at these sites by the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) helicase and other factors such as Cdc45 and the associated GINS complex.The unwound single strands are protected by replication protein A (RPA) until DNA polymerase starts synthesizing DNA at the 5’ end of the strand in the same direction as the replication fork. To prevent the replication fork from falling apart,...

The DNA Replication Fork

40.5K
An organism’s genome needs to be duplicated in an efficient and error-free manner for its growth and survival. The replication fork is a Y-shaped active region where two strands of DNA are separated and replicated continuously. The coupling of DNA unzipping and complementary strand synthesis is a characteristic feature of a replication fork.   Organisms with small circular DNA, such as E. coli, often have a single origin of replication; therefore, they have only two replication...

Replication in Eukaryotes

17.1K
In eukaryotic cells, DNA replication is highly conserved and tightly regulated. Multiple linear chromosomes must be duplicated with high fidelity before cell division, so there are many proteins that fulfill specialized roles in the replication process. Replication occurs in three phases: initiation, elongation, and termination, and ends with two complete sets of chromosomes in the nucleus.
Many Proteins Orchestrate Replication at the Origin
Eukaryotic replication follows many of the same...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Research Methodology
  • Scientific Reproducibility

Background:

  • Reproducibility is a cornerstone of scientific integrity.
  • A significant number of research findings fail to replicate.
  • The Open Science Collaboration's Reproducibility Project: Psychology highlighted replication challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify underappreciated reasons for scientific irreproducibility.
  • To investigate the impact of data artifacts on replication outcomes.
  • To advocate for minimal data quality control, including post hoc analysis, before drawing conclusions.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of artifacts in replication failures from the Reproducibility Project: Psychology.
  • Statistical control of stimulus allocation bias in a specific case study (fertility and partner preference).
  • Comparison of original and replication datasets to identify discrepancies.

Main Results:

  • Several replication failures in the Reproducibility Project: Psychology were invalidated by data artifacts.
  • A gross bias in stimulus allocation was identified in replication datasets, absent in the original.
  • Controlling for this bias statistically replicated the original study's finding regarding fertility and partner preference.

Conclusions:

  • Undetected data artifacts can significantly undermine scientific reproducibility.
  • Post hoc data analysis is essential for identifying confounds and biases, despite potential reluctance.
  • Minimal data quality control, including thorough examination of data, should be a standard requirement for all research, especially for replication attempts.
