The present disclosure includes a method for optimizing value of current wood products dried in one or more current drying processes and associated computer software. Universal libraries of standard and modified nucleic acids are provided for nucleic acid detection, as are related methods. The usefulness of reverse translation is that it facilitates the amplification of information held in the amino acid sequence of an unknown protein or peptide. A magnetic field pulse sequence is generated, and magnetic resonance signals are detected using the second portion of the sequence.
