In molecular biology and genetics, GC-content (or guanine-cytosine content) is the percentage of nitrogenous bases in a DNA or RNA molecule that are either...

Actinobacteria) are a diverse phylum of Gram-positive bacteria with high GC content. They can be terrestrial or aquatic. They are of great importance to land...

horizontal transfer. For example, because bacterial GC content falls within a wide range, GC content of a genome segment is a simple genomic signature....

100% GC content to 978.6005 Mbp/pg for 0% GC content (A/T being lighter, has more Mbp/pg), with a midpoint of 977.8155 Mbp/pg for 50% GC content. The...

selective pressure. GC content varies widely in the human genome (40–80%), but there seem to be large sections of the genome where GC content is, on average...

comparatively still GC-poor, similar to the low GC-content of the base composition translational stop codons like TAG, TAA, and TGA. GC-rich areas are also...

time, DNA with a high GC content is usually less condensed, that is, it tends to appear as euchromatin rather than heterochromatin. GC rich DNA tends to contain...

commonly referred to as A, G, C, and T. The GC-content is the percentage of G & C bases within a genome. GC-content varies greatly between different organisms...

the "right" pairs to form stably. DNA with high GC-content is more stable than DNA with low GC-content. Crucially, however, stacking interactions are primarily...

DNA (greater than 300 kilobases) with a high degree of uniformity in GC content; that is, guanine (G) and cytosine (C) bases. The distribution of bases...

correlate with GC-content. For example, the E. coli K-12 genome contains 2705 TAA (63%), 1257 TGA (29%), and 326 TAG (8%) stop codons (GC content 50.8%). Also...

distance. GC content is therefore indication for the presence of coding or regulatory processes in DNA. While stable gene deserts have higher GC content, this...

of Gs and Cs to As and Ts (GC-content), which led to the hypothesis that thermal stability was a driving factor of GC-content variation. However, while...

Grinnell, Iowa GC (gene), encodes the vitamin D-binding protein also known as gc-globulin gc, a unit conversion factor used in engineering GC-content, a sequence...

called a Watson-Crick base pair. DNA with high GC-content is more stable than DNA with low GC-content. A Hoogsteen base pair (hydrogen bonding the 6-carbon...

analysis showed a GC content of 54.90%. This supports the hypothesis that thermophiles experience selective pressure to increase their GC content in order to...

repetitive content and 40.46% of GC content. Specifically, macro-chromosomes, which represent 88% of the genome, have 39.8% of GC content, while micro-chromosomes...

predictable contributions to parallel evolution. Since the 1960s, genomic GC content has been thought to reflect mutational tendencies. Mutational biases also...

off-frame stop codons are directly correlated with the GC content in the genome because stop codons are GC-poor. Morgens et al. 2013 argues that previous research...

Furthermore, the GC-content of ribosomal RNA, the traditional phylogenetic marker for prokaryotes, does not correlate well with the GC-content of the genome...

streptomycetes are gram-positive, and have very large genomes with high GC content. Found predominantly in soil and decaying vegetation, most streptomycetes...

bacteriophage genomes. Every genomic island has the following characteristics; a GC- content that differs from the surrounding DNA sequence, a connection with tRNA...

genome of Micrococcus is rich in guanine and cytosine (GC), typically exhibiting 65 to 75% GC-content. Micrococci often carry plasmids (ranging from 1 to...

highly conserved among vertebrates. The 3' part of the promoter has high GC content and is thus refractory to PCR amplification. Some of the CAG promoter...

bias toward GC is responsible for genomes with high GC content, and likewise the opposite bias is responsible for genomes with low GC content. Starting...

they had a GC content greater than 55%, and an observed-to-expected CpG ratio of 65%. CpG islands are characterized by CpG dinucleotide content of at least...

The bacterium’s DNA has a melting point of 96.68 to 97.08 °C and the GC content was 67.73-67.8%. A separate sequencing of the 16S rRNA sequence, conducted...

methods can be based on either compositional sequence features (such as GC-content or tetranucleotide frequencies) or sequence read mapping coverage across...

equitans' genome consists of a single circular chromosome, and has an average GC-content of 31.6%. It lacks almost all of the genes required for the synthesis...

sequence of a gene may change the frequency of guanine-cytosine base pairs (GC content). The base pairs have a higher thermal stability (melting point) than...
