DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

New crystallography images show that artificial DNA bases take on a surprisingly normal geometry when bound by polymerase. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, ...

The bases on these nucleotides are very particular about what they connect to. Cytosine (C) will "pair" to guanine (G), and adenine (A) will "pair" to thymine (T). How the bases are arranged in ...

Erwin Chargaff's groundbreaking research, which showed that DNA base pairs had a complementary relationship, laid the foundation for James Watson's and Francis Crick's DNA model. When word spread that ...

This phenomenon is known as complementary base pairing (Figure 4), and it results in the production of two complementary strands of DNA. Base pairing ensures that the sequence of nucleotides in ...

This can easily be achieved with a copy number calculator, all you need to know is the concentration of DNA in your sample in ng/µl and the length of your template in base pairs. The concentration of ...

The Criminal Investigations Division of Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, arrested the pair for trespassing and notified ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations, or ERO, office in Washington ...
