  2. Repeated sequence (DNA) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeated_sequence_(DNA)

    Repeated sequences (also known as repetitive elements, repeating units or repeats) are short or long patterns that occur in multiple copies throughout the genome.In many organisms, a significant fraction of the genomic DNA is repetitive, with over two-thirds of the sequence consisting of repetitive elements in humans. [1]

  3. Replication timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_timing

    Grey data points each represent a different DNA sequence position along the length of chromosome 2 as indicated on the x axis, with more positive values on the y-axis indicating earlier replication. A smoothed line (blue) is drawn through the data to visualize the domains of different replication timing.

  4. DNA sequencing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_sequencing

    DNA sequencing is the process of determining the nucleic acid sequence – the order of nucleotides in DNA. It includes any method or technology that is used to determine the order of the four bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. The advent of rapid DNA sequencing methods has greatly accelerated biological and medical research and ...

  5. Nucleic acid sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_sequence

    DNA sequencing is the process of determining the nucleotide sequence of a given DNA fragment. The sequence of the DNA of a living thing encodes the necessary information for that living thing to survive and reproduce. Therefore, determining the sequence is useful in fundamental research into why and how organisms live, as well as in applied ...

  6. Genomic organization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genomic_organization

    P = Promoter DNA element. The hereditary material i.e. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) of an organism is composed of a sequence of four nucleotides in a specific pattern, which encodes information as a function of their order. Genomic organization refers to the linear order of DNA elements and their division into chromosomes.

  7. Nucleic acid structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_structure

    A nucleic acid sequence is the order of nucleotides within a DNA (GACT) or RNA (GACU) molecule that is determined by a series of letters. Sequences are presented from the 5' to 3' end and determine the covalent structure of the entire molecule.

  8. Third-generation sequencing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-generation_sequencing

    Third-generation sequencing (also known as long-read sequencing) is a class of DNA sequencing methods which produce longer sequence reads, under active development since 2008. [ 1 ] Third generation sequencing technologies have the capability to produce substantially longer reads than second generation sequencing , also known as next-generation ...

  9. Reading frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_frame

    An open reading frame (ORF) is a reading frame that has the potential to be transcribed into RNA and translated into protein. It requires a continuous sequence of DNA which may include a start codon, through a subsequent region which has a length that is a multiple of 3 nucleotides, to a stop codon in the same reading frame.
