Understanding DNA Structure
Learn about the fundamental building blocks of genetic information and how our AI decodes them.
The DNA double helix consists of two complementary strands wound around each other. Each strand contains nucleotides with phosphate groups, sugar molecules, and nitrogenous bases that form the genetic code through specific base pairing.
Deoxyribose
Deoxyribose, a five-carbon sugar, is crucial in the DNA backbone; its absence of a hydroxyl group sets it apart from ribose.
Phosphate Group
Comprised of one phosphorus atom and four oxygen atoms, it forms the backbone and imparts structure to the double helix.
Nitrogenous Bases
Four bases (A, T, C, G) encode genetic information through specific pairing rules that our AI analyzes for phenotype prediction.
Adenine (A)
A purine nitrogenous base with two fused rings. It always pairs with thymine via two hydrogen bonds.
Thymine (T)
A pyrimidine nitrogenous base with a single ring. It specifically pairs with adenine via two hydrogen bonds.
Guanine (G)
A purine nitrogenous base with two fused rings. It always pairs with cytosine via three hydrogen bonds.
Cytosine (C)
A pyrimidine nitrogenous base with a single ring. It specifically pairs with guanine via three hydrogen bonds.
How Our AI Analyzes DNA
SNP Detection
Our AI identifies Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with specific phenotypic traits.
Pattern Recognition
Advanced machine learning algorithms analyze genetic patterns to predict physical characteristics.
Phenotype Prediction
Based on genetic markers, our system predicts hair color, eye color, and skin tone with high accuracy.
