Cytosine (C) will "pair" to guanine (G), and adenine (A) will "pair" to thymine (T). How the bases are arranged in the DNA is what determines the genetic code. When the enzyme has passed the end ...

To improve traceability and enable authentication of synthetic nucleic acid sequences, researchers are embedding digital ...

By studying the genomes of more than 3,000 people across Japan, researchers have shed light on the population’s complex ...

Every mitochondrion includes an identical loop of DNA about 16,000 base pairs long. By contrast, each cell contains only a single set of nuclear DNA (46 chromosomes), which is made up of ...

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 ...

An important specialty in this field—and a signature area of study at the University at Albany's RNA Institute—is DNA ...

And why do they talk about it so much on CSI? DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base ...

The clones were derived from DNA libraries made by ligating DNA fragments ... requires more than just knowledge of the order of the base pairs in our genome to cure human disease.

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a way to make diverse chiral deoxyribonucleic acid ...

The most recognizable yellow jacket at Georgia Tech is made of fabric and foam, but Professor Mike Goodisman and a team of ...

Scientists have mapped the genome of the Greenland shark, which could offer clues to the animal’s extreme longevity. By Jonathan Moens The Greenland shark is not exactly charismatic. Its hulking ...
