A wave of AI foundation models built on plant DNA sequences is giving researchers new tools to annotate genomes, predict gene ...

Artificial DNA letters beyond A, T, G, C break a fundamental pairing rule to produce nanostructures with new shapes, far greater durability, and an unexpected ability to self-sort.

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different chemical force than natural genetic material. While the common natural DNA ...

Metal-mediated base pairing in nucleic acids represents a transformative approach wherein traditional Watson–Crick hydrogen bonds are replaced or supplemented by coordinate bonds with metal ions. This ...

A team led by Professor Shoichiro Asayama at Tokyo Metropolitan University has synthesized a charge-free molecule designed to sneak plasmid DNA into living cells via hydrogen bonding, dramatically ...
