title: The evaluation of an average nucleotide composition from melting curves.
abstract: A new formula has been derived for the calculation of the average G + C content - X of DNAs from different origins using thermal melting data. As compared to existing formulas the new method gives highly accurate results, although being much easier to use than similar equations.
