The Indigo® 12 base pair DNA model, first shown at NABT 1996, costs only $349.00 & can build 262,144 different base-pair sequences. Even if you need the odd replacement part that works out to <$0.01 per student-lab! Or, build just AT & GC base pairs for $16.25 each.
Be the envy of all. The Indigo® Big Bang Theory DNA Model has 36 base pairs, stands ~2m (6') tall & has 18 quadrillion (1.8x1016 possible sequences). Get yours with its unique sequence while supplies last.
Explore more options below including two custom Indigo® alpha helix models designed to fit the major grooves of our 12/17/36 base pair DNA models.
DNA is a fundamental genetic information storage polymer which propagates genetic information that can be altered to form xenobiotic nucleic acids. Modified oligonucleotides can incorporate alternative genetic materials as non-canonical structures that obey Watson-Crick base-pairing rules & can convey epigenetic information as regulatory elements.
Two of the methylated nucleobases, m6A & 5mC, are associated with cellular processes including DNA replication, transcription, transposition and repair.

If you are on the cutting edge of nucleic acid research, then you've almost certainly read: Synthetic Life with Alternative Nucleic Acids as Genetic Materials. This paper lists various non-canonical bases such as: 5-methylcytosine (5mC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC), 5-carboxycytosine (5caC), 5-hydroxymethyl-uracil (5hmU), 5-formyluracil (foU), and N6-methyladenine (m6A), 5-chloro-2'-deoxyuridine (5ClU),5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5MeC), 5-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine (5FC), 7-deaza-2'-deoxyguanosine (7dG) & 2'-deoxyuridine for use in genome manipulation. Our 3D Molecular Model Builder can show the structure & parts of these & other XNAs to build models to compare modified olignucleotides to standard bases.
If you would like a customized version of our 12/17/36 base pair models that would include one more xenonucleotides, please contact us for a quote.
This scanning electron micrograph shows a human genome's complement of 46 chromosomes. Each of these chromosomes consists of chromatin, DNA strands and special accompanying "packaging" proteins called histones. Our entire genetic code is an instruction set contained in roughly 20,000 genes consisting of some 3 billion base pairs. These can be arranged with more possible combinations than stars in the known universe; really!
