DNA and DNA Sequencing<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is a molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to develop, live, and reproduce. These instructions are found inside every cell and are passed down from parents to their children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"DNA<\/span><\/p>\n

DNA is made up of molecules called<\/span> nucleotides<\/span>. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA’s instructions, or <\/span>genetic code<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
