Solving the MCM paradox by visualizing the scaffold of CMG helicase at active replisomes

For several decades the MCM2-7 proteins, the core of the DNA replicative helicase, eluded detection at DNA replication sites. Here, the authors solve this conundrum by gene editing, which enables visualization of replication dynamics in living cells.
