Powerful new applications of what is known as next-generation sequencing are now helping with identification of degraded ...

Our genomic DNA is comprised of four bases—cytosine (C), thymine (T), guanine (G) and adenosine (A). These bases join together into approximately 3 billion different base pairs, arranged in a ...

Our genomic DNA is comprised of four bases - cytosine (C), thymine (T), guanine (G) and adenosine (A). These bases join together into approximately 3 billion different base pairs, arranged in a ...

image: Red arrows indicate the nuclear spin axes at the positions of the N3 nitrogen atoms on the guanine (G) bases. Due to the helical structure of DNA, there is an angular deviation in the ...

But while experts now know a fair amount about ancient Egyptian life, they still understand very little about the ...

However, under certain conditions, a single strand of DNA can fold into a G-quadruplex (G4) structure, which looks like a knot. These knots often form in regions with many guanine (G) bases.

Roman salting plants processed fish so thoroughly that researchers struggle to identify the species once used in ancient ...

In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers in the Netherlands have successfully edited harmful mutations ...

Scientists have found a way to sample DNA out of the air on a large scale — making it possible to one day track the health and well being of all kinds of species around the world.

To date, people have encoded information into DNA the same way nature has, by linking the four nucleotide bases comprising DNA—A, T, C, and G—into a particular genetic sequence.

Our genomic DNA is comprised of four bases—cytosine (C), thymine (T), guanine (G) and adenosine (A). These bases join together into approximately 3 billion different base pairs, arranged in a ...
