The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality ...

Combinations of these atoms form the sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA -- the sides of the ladder, in other words. Other combinations of the atoms form the four bases: thymine (T), adenine (A ...

Recombinase efficiency increases allow Qi Biodesign to insert 20-30 kb (5 or 6 genes) at one time at one location across a variety of different crop genetics. In addition, a large team at Qi Biodesign ...

The structure of DNA can also be described as a ladder. The chemical backbones of the ladder are made up of sugar and phosphate molecules that are connected by chemical bonds. The rungs of the ...

internally crosslinked by the covalent backbone of a single DNA molecule. The spontaneous formation of well-defined ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method ...

Mayo Clinic's Precision Mouse Engineering Core in Minnesota produces transgenic mouse strains for researchers.
