There are four types of base - adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine. All human cells contain DNA. The 3 billion pairs of bases in each cell fit into a space that is six microns across.
Researchers have uncovered a way to manipulate DNA at the atomic level using electric field gradients to control nitrogen nuclear spins. Their findings suggest that DNA could be used as both a storage ...
After sequencing, the duet proprietary software aligns and compares sequence information from the original and copy strands, computing resolved bases that have both genetic and epigenetic information.
This image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...
DNA damage is distinct from a mutation. While a mutation is one of the standard four DNA bases (A, G, T or C) in the wrong place, similar to a spelling mistake, DNA damage is chemical alteration ...
