	NDI Terminology - deoxyribonucleic acid
		DNA; the nucleic acid in which the sugar is deoxyribose, constituting the primary genetic material of all cellular organisms and the DNA viruses, and occurring predominantly in the nucleus.
		DNA is duplicated by replication, and it serves as a template for synthesis of ribonucleic acid (transcription).
		The strands are twisted to form a double helix and are antiparallel.

	MSN Encarta - Deoxyribonucleic Acid
		For instance, the triplet GAC (guanine, adenine, and cytosine) is the codon for the amino acid leucine, and the triplet CAG (cytosine, adenine, and guanine) is the codon for the amino acid valine.
		A protein is composed of smaller molecules called amino acids, and the structure and function of the protein is determined by the sequence of its amino acids.
		A protein consisting of 100 amino acids is thus encoded by a DNA segment consisting of 300 nucleotides.

	Deoxyribonucleic Acid
		Deoxyribonucleic Acid, a double stranded macromolecule of helical structure (comparable to a spiral staircase).
		Each deoxyribose part is coupled to a nucleotide base, which is responsible for establishing the connection to the other strand of the DNA.
		Both single strands are linear, unbranched nucleic acid molecules build up from alternating deoxyribose (sugar) and phosphate molecules.

	DNA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions specifying the biological development of all cellular forms of life (and many viruses).
		They were relatively quick to appreciate the polymeric nature of their "nucleic acid" isolates, but realized only later that nucleotides were of two types--one containing ribose and the other deoxyribose.
		In an influential presentation in 1957, Crick laid out the "Central Dogma", which foretold the relationship between DNA, RNA, and proteins, and articulated the "sequence hypothesis." A critical confirmation of the replication mechanism that was implied by the double-helical structure followed in 1958 in the form of the Meselson-Stahl experiment.

	DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID - Definition
		An organic acid and polymer composed of four nitrogenous bases--adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine linked via intervening units of phosphate and the pentose sugar deoxyribose.
		In nature, base pairs form only between A and T and between G and C; thus the base sequence of each single strand can be deduced from that of its partner.
		DNA is the genetic material of most organisms and usually exists as a double-stranded molecule in which two antiparallel strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between adeninethymine and cytosine-guanine.

	Flow cytometric analysis of primary and metastatic bladder cancer
		When patient survival was compared to the ploidy of the metastatic site, or in patients with diploid primary and metastatic lesions versus deoxyribonucleic acid aneuploidy at either the primary and/or metastatic site, the aneuploid tumors had a longer survival but this difference was not significant (p equals 0.13 and 0.23, respectively).
		Tumor heterogeneity was defined as polyclonal aneuploidy of the primary tumor (not identified in the population studied) or as a difference in the deoxyribonucleic acid index of the primary and metastatic sites of 0.20 or more (8 patients).
		It also suggests that the presence of metastasis may be a more important factor to define the biological potential of transitional cell carcinoma than is deoxyribonucleic acid ploidy.

		Relevant publications are «The molecular configuration of deoxyribonucleic acid.
		He also studied the orientation of purines and pyrimidines in tobacco mosaic virus and in nucleic acids, by measuring the ultraviolet dichroism of oriented specimens, and he studied, with the visible-light polarizing microscope, the arrangement of virus particles in crystals of TMV and measured dry mass in cells with interference microscopes.
		He was first concerned with genetic effects of ultrasonics; after one or two years, he changed his research to development of reflecting microscopes for ultraviolet microspectrophotometric study of nucleic acids in cells.

	Nucleic Acid Symbols
		The two main types of nucleic acids are designated by their customary abbreviations, RNA (ribonucleic acid or ribonucleate) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid or deoxyribonucleate).
		The first (N-2), patterned after the systems in use for amino acid and saccharide residues in polymers [1], is designed largely for descriptions of chemical work involving bases, nucleosides, nucleotides and very small oligonucleotides, or for abbreviating these in minimum space (as on chromatograms or figures or table headings).
		The 1965 Revision of Abbreviations and Symbols for Chemical Names of Special Interest in Biological Chemistry was completed and published in 1965 and 1966 [1], almost coincident with the elucidation of the first complete nucleic acid sequence [2,3] and with the development of methods for the synthesis of specific polynucleotide sequences [4].

	The Search for DNA - The Birth of Molecular Biology
		The history of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) research begins with Friedrich Miescher, a Swiss biologist who in 1868 carried out the first carefully thought out chemical studies on the nuclei of cells.
		Although he separated the nucleic acid fraction and studied its properties, the covalent structure of DNA did not become known with certainty until the late 194Os.
		Even though Miescher and many others following him suspected that nuclein or nucleic acid might play a key role in cell inheritance, others argued that their lack of chemical diversity compared to, say, proteins ruled out such a possibility.

		Isolation and characterization of myostatin complementary deoxyribonucleic acid clones from two commercially important fish: Oreochromis mossambicus and Morone chrysops.
		The nucleic and amino acid sequences from both fish species are highly homologous to the previously identified mammalian and avian orthologs, and both possess conserved cysteine residues and putative RXXR proteolytic processing sites that are common to all transforming growth factor-beta family members.
		These results suggest that the biological actions of MSTN in the tilapia and possibly in other fishes may not be limited to myocyte growth repression, but may additionally influence different cell types and organ systems.
