Methylation on adenine bases is involved in the dampening of gene expression in mammalian cells, according to a study. Amid cuts to federal funding, US universities tighten budgets, forcing PhD ...

Adenine was first discovered in 1885 by the German physiologist Albrecht Kossel. He isolated adenine from the pancreas of oxen and named it "adenine" derived from the Greek word "aden," meaning gland.

the amount of adenine is equal to the amount of thymine, and the amount of guanine is equal to the amount of cytosine in a double-stranded DNA molecule. This 1:1 ratio of A:T and G:C is crucial for ...
