🚨 New research drop! A new study from @andreichabes.bsky.social ’ group (with Tomomi Tsubouchi + Erik Johansson) overturns a long-standing assumption about how nucleosides speed up DNA replication. Paper in @narjournal.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1093/nar/... Huge congrats to Praveen Pandey et al.! 🎉

Decoding nucleoside supplementation: how thymidine outperforms ribonucleosides in accelerating mammalian replication forks

Abstract. Disruptions in deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) supply impair DNA replication and lead to genomic instability. While exogenous ribonucleosides
