Double-stranded DNA consists of two polynucleotides that are arranged such that the nitrogenous bases within one polynucleotide are attached to the nitrogenous bases within another polynucleotide ...

Hydrogels are polymeric materials with three-dimensional network structures containing large amounts of water. They serve as ...

Comparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding nucleobases. (Image: Wikimedia Commons, CC SA 3.0) The most common type of base pairing is the Watson-Crick base ...

In 1950, biochemist Erwin Chargaff found that the arrangement of nitrogen bases in DNA varied widely, but the amount of certain bases always occurred in a one-to-one ratio. These discoveries were ...

DNA hydrogels are biocompatible drug delivery systems for targeted therapeutic interventions. Conventional DNA hydrogels, formed with many DNA nanostructure units, lead to increased preparation costs ...

For example, a DNA base can be chemically modified or spontaneously altered. This generates a lesion — an area that is a roadblock for DNA polymerases and DNA primase. Therefore, DNA lesions ...

A DNA sequence is a specific lineup of chemical base pairs along its strand. The part of DNA that determines what protein to produce and when, is called a gene. First established in 1985 by Sir ...

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

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.

Innovative Takumi-shaped DNA hydrogels exhibit prolonged retention and drug release, showcasing their potential as biocompatible delivery systems in medicine.

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 ...
