Understanding GC Content

GC content is the percentage of guanine (G) and cytosine (C) bases in a DNA or RNA sequence. It is a critical parameter in molecular biology and genomics.

Importance of GC Content

GC content affects DNA stability, melting temperature, and is used in species identification and genome analysis.

Applications in Research

This tool is essential for PCR primer design, gel electrophoresis analysis, and plasmid mapping. Accurate GC content calculations are crucial for experimental planning and data interpretation in molecular biology research.
