What is "base pairs"

Usage examples of "base pairs".

A longer string will have to match base pairs along a greater length before a double strand can form.

But the same can't be said of the sequences of DNA base pairs in a genome.

Were talking about an identical match of thousands upon thousands of base pairs even in areas of long repeats.

Conversely, in Gliksin DNA, millions of base pairs away from any telomere, you’.

What I've done is to manufacture replacement strings of base pairs to put in their place.

We humans have three billion nucleic acid base pairs in our string of chemical beads.

The HERV genes were supposed to be fossils, fragments scattered through stretches of DNA less than a million base pairs long.

The links between the two intertwining spirals, the base pairs that were the genes themselves, had been heavily damaged by the ionizing radiation.

Where the nanomachines saw a break in this vital linkage, where base pairs had been broken or mismatched, the nanomachines rebuilt the bases and linked them correctly.

The human genome is about 3,120,000,000 base pairs long, so half of that is in each spermatozoa -- 1,560,000,000 base pairs .

Each side of these base pairs can either be an adenine -thymine or a guanine -cytosine bond, and they can be aligned either direction, so there are four choices.

The computer obliged with a color-coded abstraction that showed the sequencing of base pairs on the offending palindrome as a series of little plugs and sockets.

A lot of repeated [158] base pairs in the sample suggested a high level of genetic damage.

He liked the little tidbits like the fact that each human cell had four billion base pairs.

We found intact strings of perfect human DNA, many thousands of base pairs long.
