The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ...

Researchers have provided new insights into how bases in a single DNA strand stack on top of each other 1. This may open up possibilities for building complex nanodevices and deciphering ...

Al-Hashimi suggests that Hoogsteen base pairing could provide DNA-binding proteins with a feature for molecular recognition.

To do this, scientists are going to need to transcribe the new synthetic DNA bases into RNA counterparts, as RNA molecules are what allow organisms to read DNA and produce proteins.

Bacteria engineered to copy DNA with synthetic base pairs Opens the door to expanding the genetic code in living creatures.

DNA aptamers are powerful molecular tools in biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutics. However, a limited understanding of ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have discovered the stability of a 5th nucleic base and the important roles it could play in the human body.

DNA stays supple and evolves after incorporating novel Z-P base pairs along with the usual C-G and A-T pairs.

Until the 1970s scientists thought that DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the primary component of our genetic material, was a combination of four bases -- adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine. The ...

A DNA hydrogel engineered from tetrahedral nanostructures accelerates burn wound healing by directing immune cell behavior, ...

DNA is the genetic material used by every living organism. But, in a few edge cases, the four bases of DNA—adenine, thymidine, cytosine, and guanine—undergo chemical modifications. And in ...
