Phrases 40
- DNA virusAny of a group of viruses whose nucleic acid is composed of DNA.
- junk DNAAny portion of the DNA sequence of a chromosome or a genome with no apparent function identified by science to date.
- B-DNAThe default configuration of DNA in cells, right-hand twisting double helix with a significant size difference between major groove and minor groove, and approximately 10 base pairs per twist.
- C-DNAOne of the many possible double helical conformations of DNA, induced to take this form in particular conditions such as relatively low humidity and the presence of certain ions.
- DNA sequenceThe string of base pairs (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) which, when arranged in triplets to form codons, create a DNA string which encodes polypeptides.
- DNA testA test done to analyze someone’s DNA.
- DNA testingSynonym of genetic fingerprinting: The forensic analysis of genetic information from a biological sample in order to aid identification.
- DNA testsplural of DNA test: A test done to analyze someone’s DNA.
- environmental DNADNA shed into the environment, and detectable, used to observe species in regions, by sampling water, air, or dirt.
- H-DNAA configuration of DNA, a triple-stranded DNA helix structure, right-hand twisting, where the third DNA strand fills in the major groove found in B-DNA, bonding to the B-DNA with Hoogsteen-type bonding, forming Hoogsteen base pairs.
