This phenomenon is known as complementary base pairing (Figure 4), and it results in the production of two complementary strands of DNA. Base pairing ensures that the sequence of nucleotides in ...

The entire human genome requires three gigabytes of computer data storage space. (One million base pairs of sequence data equals one megabyte of storage space; the human genome has three billion ...

This can easily be achieved with a copy number calculator, all you need to know is the concentration of DNA in your sample in ng/µl and the length of your template in base pairs. The concentration of ...

These bases pair up with each other (A with T and C with G) to form units called base pairs. The order, or sequence, of these bases determines the genetic information available for building and ...
