| Dec 4, 2016 at 20:30 | comment | added | mgkrebbs | I believe a main problem here is that the quoted text is not using the term 'pseudopalindrome' in a biological-jargon sense. Unfortunately, molecular biology does not use 'palindrome' in the normal sense, but in a sense that directly contradicts the normal sense. A normal palindrome formed from GA would be GAAG, but a bio palindrome formed from GA would be GATC. | |

| Dec 4, 2016 at 18:02 | comment | added | Galen | @SanjuktaGhosh 1. Reverse order of characters (GATC ->CTAG); 2. Find complement strand (CTAG -> GATC). Note for this particular (pseudopalindrome) sequence, the steps invert each other. | |
