Linked from

The 84 pages that link to DNA, each with the reason it gives.

• Hydrogen bondRelated: Hydrogen bonds between complementary bases help hold the two strands together.

• GeneRelated: DNA's role as hereditary material made a molecular definition of genes possible.

• PhosphateRelated: Phosphate groups form the charged backbone linking DNA’s sugar units.

• CellRelated: Cells use DNA as the inherited information base for growth, maintenance, and reproduction.

• RNA polymeraseRelated: Most cellular RNA polymerases copy DNA templates into RNA.

• Sequence alignmentRelated: DNA sequences are commonly aligned to compare genes and genomes.

• Ultraviolet germicidal irradiationRelated: UV lesions in DNA can block replication and transcription.

• PyrimidineRelated: DNA contains cytosine and thymine among its four standard bases.

• Agarose gel electrophoresisRelated: DNA is the most common molecule separated and visualized by this method.

• NucleosomeRelated: The DNA helix bends and wraps around the nucleosome's histone core.

• ThymineRelated: Thymine is one of DNA’s four standard bases.

• CytosineRelated: Cytosine is one of DNA’s four standard bases.

• Life (biology)Related: DNA provides a durable information store that cells copy and use.

• Reproduction (biology)Related: DNA carries much of the information transmitted to offspring.

• HomochiralityRelated: Its sugar-phosphate backbone is built from D-deoxyribose.

• Ethidium bromideRelated: Its stacked base pairs provide the sites where ethidium bromide intercalates.

• Lawrence BraggRelated: X-ray diffraction evidence, including work by Rosalind Franklin, informed the double-helix model developed at Bragg’s laboratory.

• Alec ToddRelated: Todd’s nucleotide chemistry contributed foundational knowledge about the units from which DNA is built.

• ParakaryonRelated: DNA was reported both within the nucleus-like region and in the surrounding cytoplasm.

• Sequence (biology)Related: DNA sequences encode genetic information in nucleotide order.
