Terms Related to DNA Sequence Database

• Protein Sequence Database

  DATABASES containing information about PROTEINS such as AMINO ACID SEQUENCE; PROTEIN CONFORMATION; and other properties.

• Genetic Code

  The specifications for how information, stored in nucleic acid sequence (BASE SEQUENCE), is translated into protein sequence (AMINO ACID SEQUENCE). The start, stop, and order ...

• Nucleic Acid Heteroduplexes

  Double-stranded nucleic acid molecules (DNA-DNA or DNA-RNA) which contain regions of nucleotide mismatches (non-complementary). In vivo, these heteroduplexes can result from mutation or genetic recombination; ...

• Base Sequence

  The sequence of purines and pyrimidines in nucleic acids and polynucleotides. It is also called nucleotide or nucleoside sequence.

• Heteroduplex DNA

  Double-stranded nucleic acid molecules (DNA-DNA or DNA-RNA) which contain regions of nucleotide mismatches (non-complementary). In vivo, these heteroduplexes can result from mutation or genetic recombination; ...

• Base Sequences

  The sequence of purines and pyrimidines in nucleic acids and polynucleotides. It is also called nucleotide or nucleoside sequence.

• Base Sequence Homology

  The sequential correspondence of nucleotide triplets in a nucleic acid molecule which permits nucleic acid hybridization. Sequence homology is important in the study of mechanisms ...
