Degenerate Nucleotide Codes

Here is a list of IUPAC degenerate nucleotide codes. These specify where there is variation in the DNA code. These can be specified in primer design and are used to clone peptide libraries.

A Adenine A
C Cytosine C
G Guanine G
T Thymine (DNA) T
U Uracil (RNA) U
W Weak A/T
S Strong C/G
M Amino A/C
K Keto G/T
R Purine A/G
Y Pyrimidine C/T
B Not A C/G/T
D Not C A/G/T
H Not G A/C/T
V Not T A/C/G
N Any A/C/G/T
