What is kilobase?
Kilobase is a numbering measurement used in genetics. Since the base is one building block of genetic information and each organism contains many bases, 1,000 bases are a common number that can be used in discussing how many bases the genetic library of the body contains. This 1,000 basic pieces are more correctly referred to as kilobase.
Every living organism contains genetic information. This information information precisely explains the organism that protein products have to live, grow and multiply. All genetic information is commonly called the genome of the organism.
Each genome is divided into discrete sections. These slices called genes, code for a particular product. Each gene contains a chain of building blocks called bases. When the body reads genes to produce a particular product, it is a sequence of bases inside the gene it reads.
There are only four bases in the DNA genetic material. These are cytosine (c), guanine (g), thymine (t) and adenin (a). It is the order in which the bases are arranged in a gene that dictates what this gene code. The complexity necessary to produce all products necessary for human life is based on the length of genes and the number of bases within them.
genes each contains a remarkable number of bases. For example, the whole human genome contains 3 billion bases, each paired with a different base in the spiral spiral structure. Just a number of bases present in the genome means that geneticists consider it easier to mark genes as a length of x kilobase, unlike a length of 1,000 times x.
Even the smallest of the genomes such as Carsonella Ruddia bactering genome of bacteria, holds about 160,000 pairs of bases. This small genome has a length of about 160 kilobase (KB). On the other hand, the human genome has a length of 3 million kilobase.
Genus giants requires the genome to be distributed first. Equipment that performs sequencing cane to process only so much foundations at a time. Genetics can divide the genome into many sections and mark them as containing as many kilobase pairs as the length of 150 kilobase pairs. This size of genetic material can be genetically created into another organism to multiply DNA up to a level that is easy to read. Even these relatively small pieces of DNA are too long for sequencing, so genetics can then divide the 150 kB segment into much smaller parts of several hundreds in length.
