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 ...

Structural variations (SVs)—large-scale changes in DNA sequence—play a crucial role in shaping traits such as yield, quality, and environmental adaptation in crops.

The discovery of Hoogsteen base pairs, an alternative pairing mode to the canonical Watson–Crick structure, has significantly broadened our understanding of DNA dynamics. This conformation, in which ...

Base pairs are at the heart of molecular biology information. Recognized ever since their discovery by Watson and Crick in 1953, the base pair provides, among other things, rules for copying DNA, ...

Study Shows How Melting Point Analysis Infers the Presence of and Identifies SNPs The melting temperature (T m) of a PCR product is dependent on both the length and sequence of the DNA. Melting curve ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Shape-shifters aren't just the stuff of fiction, they're real--and they're inside our DNA. In the Feb. 1 issue of the journal Nature, researchers describe how two normally mismatched ...

The newly deciphered genome, T2T-CHM13, added 200 million base pairs to the 2013 version of the human genome and found 115 new genes. National Human Genome Research Institute A human DNA sequence is ...

Adenine was first discovered in 1885 by the German physiologist Albrecht Kossel. He isolated adenine from the pancreas of oxen and named it "adenine" derived from the Greek word "aden," meaning gland.
