Decoding the Code of Life

Did you know that there are trillions of cells in your body? Each cell contains a 1.8 m long chain of genetic material called the DNA. Each bead of the DNA is called as a nucleotide. There are four different nucleotides (A, T, G, and C) and they are enough to arrange all the sequences that make up the genetic code. Scientists can read this code and step by step understand the genetic basis of life.

Learn how we sequence the DNA at the DRESDEN-concept Genome Center and how we help the researchers around us to answer their scientific questions.
