A non-canonical base pairing is an interaction between two bases of a nucleic acid other than the standard base pairings, which are adenine–thymine in DNA, adenine–uracil in RNA, and cytosine–guanine in both.
Non-canonical base pairings commonly occur in the secondary structure of RNA (e.g. pairing of G with U), and in tRNA recognition. They are typically less stable than standard base pairings.
