I'm going to repost the same thing I put on the other article about this: I wonder what it says about me that my first reaction to seeing the figure containing the two artificial bases was 'They don't even have hydrogen bonds, what the hell is that shit?' I mean, look at it: If you have too many of these bases not hydrogen bonding, the DNA's going to fall apart.
