What Does GC Stand For?

GC stands for Guanine Cytosine

GC, or Guanine Cytosine, refers to a pair of nucleobases in DNA and RNA that are critical for the structure and function of genetic material. Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C) are complementary bases, forming hydrogen bonds that contribute to the stability and integrity of the nucleic acid double helix. The GC content of a DNA molecule is an important factor influencing various biological processes, including genetic variability and the thermal stability of the DNA structure.
