  2. Nucleotide base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleotide_base

    The purine nitrogenous bases are characterized by their single amino group (−NH 2), at the C6 carbon in adenine and C2 in guanine. [5] Similarly, the simple-ring structure of cytosine, uracil, and thymine is derived of pyrimidine, so those three bases are called the pyrimidine bases. [6] Each of the base pairs in a typical double-helix DNA ...

  3. Nucleic acid sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_sequence

    The possible letters are A, C, G, and T, representing the four nucleotide bases of a DNA strand – adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine – covalently linked to a phosphodiester backbone. In the typical case, the sequences are printed abutting one another without gaps, as in the sequence AAAGTCTGAC, read left to right in the 5' to 3' direction.

  4. Nucleotide - Wikipedia

    This nucleotide contains the five-carbon sugar deoxyribose (at center), a nucleobase called adenine (upper right), and one phosphate group (left). The deoxyribose sugar joined only to the nitrogenous base forms a Deoxyribonucleoside called deoxyadenosine, whereas the whole structure along with the phosphate group is a nucleotide, a constituent of DNA with the name deoxyadenosine monophosphate.

  5. Nucleic acid notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_notation

    The nucleic acid notation currently in use was first formalized by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) in 1970. [1] This universally accepted notation uses the Roman characters G, C, A, and T, to represent the four nucleotides commonly found in deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA).

    36530115 TTT and 36381293 AAA (ratio % = 1.00409). 2087242 TCG and 2085226 CGA (ratio % = 1.00096), etc... In 2020, it is suggested that the physical properties of the dsDNA (double stranded DNA) and the tendency to maximum entropy of all the physical systems are the cause of Chargaff's second parity rule. [ 16 ]

  7. Nucleic acid structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_structure

    A tetraloop is a four-base pairs hairpin RNA structure. There are three common families of tetraloop in ribosomal RNA: UNCG, GNRA, and CUUG (N is one of the four nucleotides and R is a purine). UNCG is the most stable tetraloop. [9] Pseudoknot is an RNA secondary structure first identified in turnip yellow mosaic virus. [10]

    1 to 9 days depending on instrument, read length and number of flow cells run at a time. $5– $120 Sequencing by ligation (SOLiD sequencing) 50+35 or 50+50 bp: 99.9%: 1.2 to 1.4 billion: 1 to 2 weeks: $60–130: Low cost per base. Slower than other methods. Has issues sequencing palindromic sequences. [98] Nanopore Sequencing

  9. Adenine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenine

    Adenine (/ ˈ æ d ɪ n ɪ n /) (symbol A or Ade) is a purine nucleotide base.It is one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acids of DNA, the other three being guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).
