GC-content, or guanine-cytosine content, refers to the percentage of nitrogenous bases in a DNA or RNA molecule that are either guanine (G) or cytosine (C). It is calculated using the formula: \\\[ \\text\{GC content\} = \\left( \\frac\{G + C\}\{A + T + G + C\} \\right) \\times 100 \\\] where A is adenine, and T is thymine (in DNA).
