Scientists from Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine have achieved the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and functions inside living cells, revealing the physical structures that control ...

In the double helix structure of DNA, thymine forms a base pair with adenine through two hydrogen bonds. This specific pairing is known as complementary base pairing and is essential for the stability ...

Armed with base editors, scientists from the laboratory of David Liu, PhD, professor and director of the Merkin Institute of Transformative Technologies in Healthcare at the Broad Institute, and their ...

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers at the University Medical Center Utrecht and their colleagues have used mitochondrial base editing (mtBE) to successfully edit harmful ...

Scientists have sequenced a South American lungfish genome, revealing 91 billion DNA base pairs. This is 30 times more DNA than humans, setting a new record. The discovery ranks as the largest animal ...
