The researchers found that the polarization was a strong function of the length of the DNA strands – with 80 base-pair-long strands giving 60% polarization but 25 base pairs only yielding about 10%.

研究人员发现，极化率大小明显由DNA链的长度决定——80个碱基对长度的DNA链产生了60%的极化率，而25个碱基对长度所致的极化率只达到10%。

They sequenced a 368 base pair fragment from the mitochrondrial genome and then compared it to sequences from ancient dogs, as well as to sequences from modern dogs, wolves, and coyotes.

他们确定了从线粒体基因组提取的一个368碱基对片段的化学结构序列，并且把它与古代犬以及现代犬、狼和郊狼的序列进行了比较。

The base price for a custom-made pair of Louboutins is four thousand dollars.

NEWYORKER: Sole Mate

Rather than inventing a new base pair, they have co-opted the least common of the three stop codons and used it to code for various new amino acids.
