How can I convert the nucleotide sequence into binary pattern?
Nucleotide sequence (AAUAUGUUAAUUGAUUUAU).
I'm not sure what you mean by binary. If you mean binary as in computer binary data, you can do it using the online converter given below: which would give this: 01000001 01000001 01010101 01000001 01010101 01000111 01010101 01010101 01000001 01000001 01010101 01010101 01000111 01000001 01010101 01010101 01010101 01000001 01010101. If you mean binary as in pyrimidine/purine, you can use a simple Excel formula like =if(or(A1="A",A1="G"),"Pur","Pyr").

In addition to using eight-but bytes as in the Text-to-binary example above, and the 1 bit conversion to Pyrimidine or Purine (0 = Purine, 1 = Pyrimidine) ; you could do a two bit conversion to have each base represented (00 = A, O1 = C, 10 = G and 11 = U).
The order you choose may make a difference. Note that in the ACGT order the bases pair as they would in DNA or RNA duplex 00:11 for A:T pair, 01:10 for C:G pair.
