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 ...

Cytosine (C) will "pair" to guanine (G), and adenine (A) will "pair" to thymine (T). How the bases are arranged in the DNA is what determines the genetic code. When the enzyme has passed the end ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...

Assembling DNA nanostructures at more moderate temperatures opens up the possibility of using the structures in biomedical ...

And each time this happens, your entire genetic library—your genome, which totals more than 3 billion base pairs of DNA—has ...

University at Albany researchers at the RNA Institute are pioneering new methods for designing and assembling DNA ...

The highly specific nucleotide interaction following the Watson-Crick base pairing rule, as well as the chemically tunable groups present in DNA, makes it possible to encode both structural and ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a vector that integrates the Cre enzyme gene with the specific DNA ...

“In the case of cattle, that’s about 3 billion base pairs of DNA that make up the cattle genome.” Conventional breeding ...
