The 7 pages that link to Cytosine, each with the reason it gives.

• DNA methylationRelated: It is the principal DNA base that receives methyl groups in mammals.

• AdenineCompared with: Unlike adenine, cytosine pairs with guanine and belongs to the pyrimidine family.

• GuanineRelated: Its complementary pairing with guanine helps maintain accurate nucleic-acid structure.

• PyrimidineBroader topic: Cytosine is one of the three canonical pyrimidine bases in nucleic acids.

• ThymineCompared with: It is another DNA pyrimidine, but pairs with a different base.

• CytidineBroader topic: Cytosine alone lacks the ribose that makes the molecule a nucleoside.

• Albrecht KosselBroader topic: Kossel’s studies of nucleic-acid constituents contributed to its early chemical characterization.
