Metagenomic and Multi-Omics Integration 0 - Image Index | 20 Ways AI is Advancing Microbial Soil Health Analysis DNA Double Helix Structure: A DNA double helix structure, with each strand consisting of two complementary polynucleotide chains twisted together in a spiral fashion. The strands are composed of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA. Each nucleotide is made up of three components: a sugar molecule called deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases - adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). The sequence of these nitrogenous bases determines the genetic information encoded in the DNA. In this image, the DNA double helix is depicted as a twisted ladder-like structure, with the sugar-phosphate backbone forming the outer edges of the ladder and the nitrogenous bases projecting inward from the backbone and pairing up with each other in complementary base pairing. The background of the image is dark blue, which helps to highlight the structure of the DNA double helix.
