The five nucleotides — adenine, thymine,
cytosine, guanine and uracil — arranged
into DNA and / or RNA The twenty amino acids — that form all proteins, including enzymes and the other 100,000 or so proteins in a complex organism's body.
Frozen in ice under ultraviolet radiation, high vacuum and low temperature, the pyrimidine turned
into uracil,
cytosine and thymine, major components of earthly DNA and RNA.
The gold - standard method for detecting DNA methylation, which Clark's group developed more than 15 years ago, is bisulphite sequencing, in which unmethylated versions of the base
cytosine are chemically converted
into another base, uracil.
Sequencing devices take long strings of a person's DNA and randomly chop them
into small pieces that can be individually analyzed to determine their sequence of letters from the genetic code (A, C, G and T representing the four key components of DNA that code for protein production in living organisms: adenine,
cytosine, guanine and thymine).
Working with French composer Richard Krüll, the pair turned the complete nucleotide sequences of several microbe genes
into compositions based on DNA bases: A (adenosine), C (
cytosine), G (guanine), and Thymine (which they have translated to «Re,» or D).
New nucleotides — adenine,
cytosine, guanine or thymine — are filled
into the gaps on the other side of the backbone, pairing with their counterparts (adenine with thymine and
cytosine with guanine) and replicating the DNA to make a copy for both the old and the new cells.
