| 1 | Adenine refers to a portion of the molecule, the nitrogenous base. | |
| 2 | These bases cannot be found in the NCBI reference genome. | |
| 3 | It is the sequence of these bases that forms the code which is translated by cellular machinery to create a new protein. | |
| 4 | One way to do it would be to measure the electrical properties of the different DNA bases such as capacitance and conductivity. | |
| 5 | The term is also used interchangeably with "nucleotide" although the latter is composed of a five-carbon sugar joined to a phosphate group and one of the bases. |
