A DNA sequencer decodes these sequences. Finally, a computer algorithm reconstructs the molecules’ original locations in the cells along with its nucleotide sequence. Broad Institute of MIT and ...

To date, people have encoded information into DNA the same way nature has, by linking the four nucleotide bases comprising DNA—A, T, C, and G—into a particular genetic sequence.

Mutations are alterations to a DNA sequence. If one thinks of the information in DNA as a series of sentences, mutations are errors in spelling the words that make up those sentences. Sometimes ...
