NASA’s OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer) mission has detected amino acids in the largest asteroid sample ever collected in space, ...

This article explores 6-base genome sequencing and how it is empowering researchers to expand their studies to include both ...

Adenine and guanine are double-ring molecules called purines, but cytosine, thymine and uracil are all pyrimidines: single rings. To maintain its orderly structure, single rings on one strand can ...

DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

This platform operates by converting cytosine molecules in DNA sequences into uracil while leaving methylated cytosines unchanged. Subsequently, this delicate conversion process is decoded through ...

The best characterised type of RNA editing found in mammals converts C to U (cytosine to uracil) and A to I (adenosine to inosine). In humans, the most frequent type of editing is the conversion of A ...

We referenced bisulfite sequencing PCR, an assay established by Matthias Schaefer et al. We chemically deaminated cytosine in RNA using the EZ RNA methylation kit (50) (ZYMO RESEARCH) and then ...
