In bioinformatics, the Wernberg coloring, or Wernberg transformation is a way of color-coding DNA nucleotides.[1]

Definition

The Wernberg coloring is defined as the following map:[2]

Nucleotide Color
Adenine      Red
Thymine      Blue
Guanine      Yellow
Cytosine      Green
Others      Black

There is currently ongoing discussion for including other potential base pairs, such as uracil, into the standard.
