Record 4 2012-01-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biotechnology
DEF

Unit of length for DNA fragments that is equal to 1 million nucleotides.

CONT

The size of a piece of DNA is measured in nucleotides (nt), base pairs (bp), kilobases (kb or kbp = 1000 bp) or megabases (Mb or Mbp = 1 000 000 bp). Because DNA is virtually always double-stranded, the distinction between bases and base pairs is often ignored when talking about the size of a piece of DNA. Thus a DNA double helix comprising one million base pairs can be described as either 1 Mbp or 1 Mb – it is not 2 Mb.

CONT

A megabase (Mb) is roughly equal to 1 centiMorgan (cM).
