👉 DNA math, or the mathematical principles underlying DNA structure and function, is rooted in geometry, algebra, and combinatorics. The double helix structure of DNA is described by a precise geometric model where two complementary strands twist around each other, forming a right-handed helix with a constant diameter. The base pairs (A-T and G-C) are mathematically linked through hydrogen bonding, with each pair contributing to the stability of the structure. The sequence of bases encodes genetic information, and this information can be represented as a string of numbers (A=0, T=1, C=2, G=3), allowing for efficient computation and analysis of genetic data. Additionally, the combinatorial aspects of DNA replication and transcription involve complex mathematical models to understand how genetic information is accurately copied and expressed, including the role of enzymes and regulatory sequences. These mathematical frameworks are crucial for advances in genetics, genomics, and biotechnology.
