PEARLAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Base Pair Biotechnologies, Inc., The Aptamer Discovery Company™, today announced the completion of its $3.2 Million Series A-3 financing round and the opening of its ...

Scientists from Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine have achieved the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and ...

The genome sustains so much wear and tear, much of it hardly noticeable, that even the small portion of DNA damage that stays unrepaired far exceeds our inventory-taking abilities. Taking stock of DNA ...

Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) claim to have created the first stable semisynthetic organism with extra bases added to its genetic code. The single-celled organism is also able ...

Researchers have made many advances in gene-editing technology in recent years. While precise edits were possible, they were extremely challenging. Scientists have changed that with a new technique.

Over just a few short years the CRISPR gene-editing technique has revolutionized science, affecting everything from medicine to agriculture. Two new breakthrough studies have just been published ...

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 ...

Scientists continue to inch closer and closer to medical breakthroughs by tinkering with DNA. At the end of 2016, the CRISPR gene-editing tool was used for the first time on human cancer patients, and ...

At least a dozen large corkboards on wheels, each containing diagrams, data, charts and more, fill a room in the University of Mississippi Medical Center. It's hard to hear over the noise of students ...

Figure 1: Cartoon structures of the I·C and I·A base pairs. The increased width of the purine-purine I·A base pair requires the geometry of the anticodon to change, as the codon base is held in place ...
