Base Pair: The Building Blocks of DNA and RNA
The sequence of base pairs in DNA determines the genetic code, which is read in triplets (codons) to specify the amino acid sequence of proteins. The complementary nature of base pairing allows for ...

Cells Can Replicate Their DNA Precisely
This phenomenon is known as complementary base pairing (Figure 4), and it results in the production of two complementary strands of DNA. Base pairing ensures that the sequence of nucleotides in ...

With Two RNA Guides, Editing Technique Writes Long DNA Insertions
The approach, called GRAND, uses a second guide RNA to write complementary strands of DNA in targeted genomic locations, resulting in efficient insertions that can be hundreds of base pairs long. Dan ...
