base-pair

Re-reading Art's post, I guess I can see that some of his other Meyer quotes deal with the generic question of where the information in the DNA base-pair sequence — of e.g. genes — comes from.

By comparison, the scientists who sequenced the first human genome had to map only three billion base-pair sequences of DNA.

Rienhoff compared Beatrice's DNA with the information on Ensembl, looking for any base-pair variants that hadn't been previously recorded on Ensembl.

In the year 2000, the price of custom oligonucleotides was about $10 per DNA base-pair; by early 2005, Blue Heron Biotechnology of Bothell, Washington was charging only $2 per base-pair discounted to $1.60 for new customers.

Over the next five years, the cost of synthetic DNA is expected to drop to about 10 cents per base-pair or even less, according to a recent report from the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine.

But if that thymine suffered a point mutation and became a cytosine, guanine or adenine then you would have a base-pair mismatch.

Mutational changes on the nucleotide base-pair level have never been shown to occur only in genes that need modification for survival.

Even if scientists discover every single one of the base-pair chains, joining 40 million of them in the right order would be like taping together a book that has been chopped into individual letters.
