Base pairs play a crucial role in the storage, transmission, and expression of genetic information. The sequence of base pairs in DNA determines the genetic code, which is read in triplets (codons) to ...

This DNA is distinguished by a base, found nowhere else, that undergoes a different type of base pairing. Diaminopurine, awkwardly abbreviated as Z, is structurally similar to the adenine (A ...

The complementary base pairing in DNA leads to a specific ratio of nucleobases, known as Chargaff's rule. According to this rule, the amount of adenine is equal to the amount of thymine, and the ...

Through their newly reported study, the team, headed by Martijn Koppens, PhD, used the double-stranded DNA deaminase toxin A-derived cytosine base editor (DdCBE) to develop in vitro disease models ...

Researchers have revealed a new mechanism underlying how spatial distance between specific regions of DNA is linked to bursts of gene activity. Using advanced cell imaging techniques and computer ...

Researchers demonstrated how Mycobacterium tuberculosis modifies its DNA and regulates both replication and gene activity through a reversible process known as ADP-ribosylation. This is the first ...

Base pairing is a very specific process which can be used to design matching strands. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert ...

Given the vast number of DNA base pairs, the speed and efficiency of damage detection are vital. The process involves the XPC protein, which detects structural distortions in DNA.
