DNA replication involves several key proteins working together. The DNA double helix unwinds and each strand serves as a template to produce two new identical DNA molecules. Semi-conservative replication means each new molecule contains one original and one new strand. The lagging strand is replicated in fragments that are later joined together. DNA repair proteins proofread and correct any errors that occur during replication to maintain fidelity of the genetic code.
DNA is maintained in a compressed, supercoiled state.
But basis of replication is the formation of strands based on specific bases pairing with their complementary bases

DNA replication: The double helix is un'zipped' and unwound, then each separated strand (turquoise) acts as a template for replicating a new partner strand (green). Nucleotides (bases) are matched to synthesize the new partner strands into two new double helices.
In molecular biology, DNA replication is the biological process of producing two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA molecule. This process occurs in all living organisms and is the basis for biological inheritance. The cell possesses the distinctive property of division, which makes replication of DNA essential..
The presentation covers the details of DNA replication starting from the basics of the replication process to the chemistry of DNA synthesis as well as the different models of replication.

The process by which DNA molecule makes its identical copies is known as DNA replication or DNA replication is the biological process of producing two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA molecule
DNA replication is an important process which takes place in every organisms, be it prokaryotic or eukaryotic. The DNA replication process produces two identical copies of daughter DNA molecules using the existing DNA molecule as template. Each daughter DNA molecule inherits one strand from the parent cell and the other strand is newly synthesized. This is known as semiconservative mode of replication, demonstrated by Meselson and Stahl.
“This structure has novel features which are of considerable biological interest.”
This may be the science most famous statement, which appeared in April 1953 in the scientific paper where James Watson and Francis Crick presented the structure of the DNA-helix.
“It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material."

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

7. DNA Replication: Starting
DNA replication begins at a special sequence of nucleotides
which signifies an origin of replication-> proteins pull the two
strands apart to form a replication “bubble.” Replication
proceeds in both directions:
8. DNA Replication: Elongating the
•DNA polymerases
New Strand
catalyze the addition of a
nucleoside triphosphate to
the 3’ end of a growing
DNA strand
•A nucleoside
triphosphate is a
nucleotide monomer with
3 P groups the 3 P
groups create enough
instability that 2 P are lost
during the addition of the
monomer.
•Hydrolysis of the 2 P
molecule, pyrophosphate,
releases energy that drives the
polymerization reaction
9. DNA Replication: Antiparallel Elongation
•The 2 strands of a DNA molecule are
antiparallel to each other; they’re oriented
in opposite directions
•DNA polymerases add nucleotides only
to the 3’ end of a growing chain. Therefore growth proceeds in the 5’3’
direction
10. The leading strand

continuously & in
one piece

fragments
are then joined
together by
DNA ligase
The lagging strand is
made small chunks,
Okazaki fragments, in
order to follow the
5’3’ rule
11. Leading vs. Lagging Strand
http://www3.interscience.wiley.com:8100/legacy/college/boyer/04716
12. Priming DNA Synthesis
•DNA replication cannot begin
without a primer
•A primer is a short segment
of RNA that has an available
3’ end
•Primase is a special enzyme
that constructs the primer
sequence from scratch
•The leading strand only needs
one primer. However the
lagging strand needs several
primers
•DNA pol I replaces RNA primer
nucleotides with DNA after each
fragment is made
•Ligase then fuses fragments
13. Quick Think
Describe the role of primase, DNA pol I, DNA pol III, and
ligase in the formation of the lagging strand.
14. Summary of Bacterial DNA Replication
Helicase unwinds the helix at the replication fork
Single-strand binding protein stabilizes single
stranded DNA until it can be used as a template
Topoisomerase keeps DNA from overwinding
by breaking & rejoining the DNA ahead of the
replication fork
15. Misconceptions & the Replication
Machine
Simplified models make it
seem like the DNA molecule is
stationary and that the various
replication enzymes move
down the molecule.
Contrary to this idea, there
is evidence that supports the
reverse notion: Replication
enzymes form a complex, a
“machine,” and the DNA
moves through the machine.
It’s analogous to fabric
moving through a sewing
machine.
16. Proof Reading & Repairing DNA
•DNA polymerases are the molecules that “proof-read” each
nucleotide to ensure that it is complementary to the template
•If a mistake is found, the nucleotide is removed & replaced
•If DNA polymerase
doesn’t catch a mistake, or if
a mismatch occurs after
DNA replication, then
excision repair is one way to
correct the error:
•A nuclease is a special
enzyme that cuts DNA
during repair
17. Quick Think
•What are some ways in which DNA may become damaged?
•Why is it important for DNA to be able to repair itself?
18. Replicating the Ends of DNA Molecules
In linear DNA, such as eukaryotic DNA, there comes a point
toward the end of the DNA molecule where a 3’ end is not
available, and, therefore, DNA pol III can no longer add
nucleotides:
With each replication,
the new DNA molecule
is becoming shorter &
shorter!!!
19. To mitigate the effects of the progressive shortening,
the ends of a DNA molecule are composed of
telomeresrepeating sequences of DNA (in humans,
TTAGGG) that don’t code for any genes.
The presence of telomeres
postpones the erosion of the
end of a DNA molecule.
Cells that undergo many
divisions, like germ cells which
produce gametes, contain an
enzyme called telomerase.
Telomerase catalyzes the
lengthening of telomeres so that
a zygote will contain cells that
have maximum telomere length
Bright yellow=telomeres
20. Quick Think
How are telomeres important in preserving eukaryotic genes?
Why does prokaryotic DNA lack telomeres?
