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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

several genetic diseases, there were elevated GpC content in certain regions. Mutations in these GC-rich regions caused a variety of diseases, revealing...

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

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

icosahedral viruses with DNA genomes. The Alphapithovirus genome has 36% GC-content, similar to the Megaviridae, in contrast to greater than 61% for pandoraviruses...

(ORFs), compared to 2.27 Mb and 2,465 ORFs for MC58. Both strains have a GC content of 51.5%. A comparison with MC58 showed that four genes are uniquely present...

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...

Polyplacotomia. P. mediterranea has the smallest mitogenome, the lowest GC content, and the smallest intergenic spacer regions of all placozoans. Their bodily...

discriminated from mesophiles from genomic features. For example, the GC-content levels in the coding regions of some signature genes were consistently...

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

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

sequenced and is 7Mbp in size and spread across 7 chromosomes. The high GC content (70%) makes it challenging to engineer. Sp245 can be transformed with...
