Now, researchers at Harvard University have designed a new class of adenine base editors (ABEs) that can efficiently turn A-T into G-C, opening up the majority of pathogenic point mutations for ...

Biochemists from the University of Washington have engineered complex protein molecules with additional chemical bonds that make it possible to mix and match them like the base pairs of DNA. The ...

Anyone who studied a little genetics in high school has heard of adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine -- the A, T, G and C that make up the DNA code. But those are not the whole story. The rise of ...

For decades, scientists have known that DNA consists of four basic units — adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. In recent history, scientists have expanded that list from four to six. Now ...

It’s the first thing you learn in biology. There are four nucleotides which are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine and they make up the genetic material of every living organism. Now, scientists ...

As well as its many useful properties in genetics and, more recently, the design of functional nanomaterials, DNA can also conduct electricity. However, the conductivity of an individual strand of DNA ...

Cells use only two base pairs in their DNA—adenine and thymine, and cytosine and guanine. Now, chemists have expanded that number to three. “An entire new life-form is emerging through the combination ...
