What are some biochemical alternatives to carbon?

I am making a universe and I thought that it would be unrealistic for all life forms in my entire universe to be based upon carbon.

I am aware of silicon as a possible replacement, but I'm looking for a few more to have some variety.

My question is:
What other elements could replace carbon as the base element of life?
