Preferred term

base sequence  

Definition(s)

  • The nucleic acids of living organisms (DNA and RNA) are composed of a sequence of repeating units, with each unit composed of three subunits: a sugar (deoxyribose or ribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogen-containing structure called a base. A base sequence is the specific order in which those nitrogen-containing bases appear in a particular section of nucleic acid and, for each gene in an individual, determine the genotype of that individual. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Health; Base Sequence]
