This group also clarified that Shugoshin controls DNA replication (the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself during cell division) in subtelomeres as well as higher - order structure of chromosomes.

The shortening of telomeres is a process that occurs naturally in the body each time that a cell divides: during cell division the DNA, which is tightly packaged into chromosomes, must be duplicated but the DNA - copying machinery design itself, prevents the full replication of the ends of the chromosomes.

Moreover, given that point mutations are acquired through DNA copy - errors (and / or failure of DNA damage repair mechanisms) during replication, preferentially within the paternal germline, a detailed knowledge of these basic biological processes is key to understanding the patterns of nucleotide substitutions.

Nucleosomes are disassembled and reassembled during DNA replication to ensure a faithful copy on each daughter strand.
