After which the 1G sequencer, during automated cycles of extension, recorded fluorophore excitation and determined the sequence of bases for each cluster.
The sequence of bases on one strand determined the sequence of bases on the other.
A problem to be solved can be encoded in a sequence of bases.
The sequence of bases in the DNA has been determined for hundreds of bacteria.
How did the sequence of bases in DNA determine the sequence of amino acids in the ribbon-like structure of each protein molecule?
The sequence of bases in a DNA molecule serves as a code by which genetic information is stored.
The base represented by the letter A always pairs with T, and C with G, so when the ladder is split down the middle, each half will bind only with another half that has the complementary sequence of bases.
The bases, the four chemical subunits that spell out the genetic information, pointed outward from the chains because the two researchers could see no way that the necessarily irregular sequence of bases would match together neatly if they pointed inward.
If information is encoded in the sequence of bases along a strand, say AAGTCAG, then when the helix separates, the complementary sequence, TTCAGTC, is left on the other strand.
DNA could be attractive for such molecular construction because a strand of DNA will stick only to another strand with a corresponding sequence of bases, the chemical units that form the genetic code.
When a cell senses a double strand of RNA, it acts to silence any genes with the corresponding sequence of bases.
