Japanese scientists detected all five nucleobases — building blocks of DNA and RNA — in samples returned from asteroid Bennu ...

By treating DNA as a language, Brian Hie’s “ChatGPT for genomes” could pick up patterns that humans can’t see, accelerating ...

DNA transcription is the vital first step needed for switching on our genes. For a gene to be switched on, it must be acted ...

Base editing utilizes enzymes to modify single amino acids at the most foundational unit of DNA, called a base.

Researchers have uncovered a way to manipulate DNA at the atomic level using electric field gradients to control nitrogen ...

DNA is composed of four types of nucleotides, or bases, each designated by a letter: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C) – or CGAT for short. These bases intertwine in a spiral ...

The building blocks of DNA have been found in samples returned to Earth from an asteroid, suggesting life rained down from ...

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.

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the molecular "blueprint" carrying the genetic instructions that influence the growth, ...

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 ...
