    but what could possibly be more important is noncoding RNA, or microRNA. I read a good article about it at Science News.
    Another useful link is the project site for the program RNAGENiE.

    Just thought many people would find that interesting.

    The pairs are for the two different helices in DNA, you don't actually write the other member of the pair when describing a DNA sequence. ACCCCT is perfectly fine DNA. It just has a complement (other side) of TGGGGA.
