0000508: G+C content
I want to estimate the G+C contents of some sequences. The nucleotide composition tab gives the percentage composition of A, G, T, and C. If add the percentages of G and C, can I say that it is an estimate of the G+C content of my sequence.

Thank you.

Hi Ogueri,

I am writing in response to your question regarding the MEGA software. Yes, adding %G and %C will give you GC content.
