For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different ...

The discovery of Hoogsteen base pairs, an alternative pairing mode to the canonical Watson–Crick structure, has significantly broadened our understanding of DNA dynamics. This conformation, in which ...

A team led by Professor Shoichiro Asayama at Tokyo Metropolitan University has synthesized a charge-free molecule designed to sneak plasmid DNA into living cells via hydrogen bonding, dramatically ...

A research team at the University of Cologne has developed an artificial DNA base pair that works according to a new chemical principle. In contrast to natural bases, the novel artificial base pairs ...

Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily.

Study Shows How Melting Point Analysis Infers the Presence of and Identifies SNPs The melting temperature (T m) of a PCR product is dependent on both the length and sequence of the DNA. Melting curve ...

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania and Rice University have refined a technology for editing individual genetic ...

Adenine was first discovered in 1885 by the German physiologist Albrecht Kossel. He isolated adenine from the pancreas of oxen and named it "adenine" derived from the Greek word "aden," meaning gland.

Beam Therapeutics focuses on base editing technology, which allows for precise changes at the DNA level and potentially reduces off-target effects. Base editing has the versatility to correct a wide ...
