The majority of base pairs in double-stranded DNA exist in the canonical Watson-Crick geometry. However, they can also adopt alternate Hoogsteen conformations in various complexes of DNA with proteins ...

Sometimes a replicating cell must choose the lesser of two evils. For example, when a replicating cell is stressed, it may struggle to pair bases against its single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) template, even ...

DNA rules specify that G always pairs with C, and A with T. But, when it's all added up, the amount of G+C vs A+T content among species is not a simple fixed percentage or, standard one-to-one ratio.
