Colour space 


Colour space search for term

With two-base-encoded probes, the fluorescent signal or colour obtained during imaging is associated with four dinucleotide sequences having a 5'- and 3'-base. Colour space is the sequence of overlapping dinucleotides that codes four simultaneous nucleotide sequences. Alignment with a reference genome is the most accurate method for translating colour space into a single nucleotide sequence. (Metzker 2010)
