Ambiguous nucleotides are used when the true nucleotide is unknown. The most popular one seen with high-throughput genome sequences is "N" which represents any possible nucleotide.

  • Nucleotide Code
  • Adenosine A

  • Purine (A or G) R
  • Pyrimidine (T or C) Y
  • Keto (G or T) K
  • Amino (A or C) M
  • Strong interaction (3 H bonds) (G or C) S
  • Weak interaction (2 H bonds) (A or T) W
  • Not A (C or G or T) B
