The basic repeating structural (and functional) unit of chromatin is the nucleosome, which contains eight histone proteins and about 146 base pairs of DNA (Van Holde, 1988; Wolffe, 1999).

Erwin Chargaff's groundbreaking research, which showed that DNA base pairs had a complementary relationship, laid the foundation for James Watson's and Francis Crick's DNA model. When word spread that ...

This base-to-base bonding is not random; rather, each A in one strand always pairs with a T in the other strand, and each C always pairs with a G. The double-stranded DNA that results from this ...

Cytosine (C) will "pair" to guanine (G), and adenine (A) will "pair" to thymine (T). How the bases are arranged in the DNA is what determines the genetic code. When the enzyme has passed the end ...

Discovering ultra-conserved elements in the genome and their role in limiting protein production in mice testes.

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 ...

based on the idea that DNA can be used as a programmable structural material for the creation of artificial, rationally designed nanostructures. The highly specific nucleotide interaction following ...

The left-handed Z-DNA double helix is held together by traditional Watson-Crick base pairs, but unlike righthanded B-DNA, which has major and minor grooves between the twists of its sugar-phosphate ...

Strikingly, enhancer regions can be thousands of DNA base pairs away from the genes they control. The 3D looping of DNA brings enhancers and the promoters of their target genes into contact.

Similarly, Evo was trained on large volumes of DNA — 300 billion base pairs from 2.7 million bacterial, archaeal and viral genomes — to glean functional information from stretches of DNA that a user ...

exchanges the DNA strands to produce a new dsDNA, termed heteroduplex. In a recent cryo-EM analysis of the recombination reaction (Yang et al., 2020) we found that the dsDNA strands are separated on ...
