For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...

This base-to-base bonding is not random; rather, each A in one strand always pairs with a T in the other strand, and each C always pairs with a G. The double-stranded DNA that results from this ...

Such probes are sensitive, even to single base differences in target DNA. Freed from the constraint of needing hydrogen bonding to achieve rapid, high-fidelity DNA synthesis, one may be able to ...

Based on their calculations, the team predicted that even under perfect conditions for DNA preservation, it would take a maximum of 6.8 million years for every bond to be destroyed. And even before ...

(Image: Wikimedia Commons, CC SA 3.0) The most common type of base pairing is the Watson-Crick base pair, named after James Watson and Francis Crick, who first proposed the double helix structure of ...

Kokoris came up with the idea of solving some of the noise issue of nanopore sequencing by converting DNA into larger surrogate polymers, and he cofounded sequencing company Stratos Genomics back in ...

One of the most important properties of guanine is its ability to form three hydrogen bonds with cytosine. This strong base pairing is crucial for the stability of the DNA double helix and the ...

Cells express their genes by converting the genetic message into protein. This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed ...
