The phrase "a string of bases" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, genetics, or computer science, where it refers to a sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA, or a sequence of characters in programming.
Example: "In DNA, a string of bases determines the genetic code that instructs the development of an organism."
Alternatives: "a sequence of bases" or "a chain of bases".

In this problem, an input string s = s0 s1 ⋯ s n - 1 represents a string of bases (or nucleotides) over the alphabet A, C, G, U.
Each NBS has been described by an RNA Sequence-Structure PatteRSSPRSSP), i.e., a pair composed of a string of bases (the sub-sequence corresponding to the NBS) and a string that represents the secondary structure in the dot-bracket notation (the NBS).
In the simulator, each TF molecule is represented as an agent able to perform certain actions, whereas the DNA molecule is modelled as a string of base pairs (A, T, C, G).
The challenge lies in finding a meaningful way of converting a string of nucleotide bases into pitches, rhythms and so on.
The New York Times now reports that "the Pentagon has proposed a new plan to the White House to build up a string of military bases in Africa" and beyond, "bring[ing] an ad hoc series of existing bases into one coherent system that would be able to confront regional threats from the Islamic State, Al Qaeda, or other terrorist groups".
