ATGC
ATGC refers to the four nucleobases found in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), which are essential components of genetic material. The letters stand for adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). These bases pair specifically: adenine pairs with thymine (via two hydrogen bonds) and guanine pairs with cytosine (via three hydrogen bonds) in DNA, while in RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil (U), which pairs with adenine. The sequence of these bases encodes genetic information, determining traits, protein synthesis, and cellular functions.
ATGC is fundamental to molecular biology, genetics, and biotechnology. The order of these nucleotides forms the
In biotechnology, ATGC sequences are analyzed using techniques like DNA sequencing, PCR (polymerase chain reaction), and
Understanding ATGC is crucial for fields like medicine, agriculture, and synthetic biology. Advances in sequencing technology
