nucleotide

The breakthrough permits direct detection of each nucleotide, allowing an entire gene to be sequenced in about an hour..这个重大的突破允许直接检测每个核苷酸，可以在大约一小时之内测序整个基因。

A SNP is a variation in just one nucleotide of a genetic sequence; think of it as a spelling change affecting just one letter in an uncommonly long word..一个SNP就是只在一个基因序列的一个核苷酸中发生的变异；就像一个拼写变化只影响一个罕见的长单词中的一个字母。

In the genetic code that life has used up to now, there are 64 possible triplet combinations of the four nucleotide letters; these genetic "words" are called codons..从生命开始使用遗传密码到现在，核苷酸的四个字母的三重组合有64个可能，这些遗传“字词”被称为密码子。
