Linked from

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

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

• Molecular diagnosticsBroader topic: Many tests detect DNA variants or pathogen genomes.

• Southern blotNarrower topic: Southern blotting detects sequences within this molecule.

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

• Cell nucleusNarrower topic: Most cellular DNA is housed and maintained inside the nucleus.

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

• Sanger sequencingNarrower topic: Sanger sequencing reads the base order in DNA molecules.

• Site-directed mutagenesisNarrower topic: The method alters DNA sequence directly, usually in a cloned target.

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

• DNA adductNarrower topic: Adducts attach to DNA bases or its sugar-phosphate backbone.

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

• G-quadruplexNarrower topic: G-quadruplexes can form within guanine-rich regions of genomic DNA.

• UracilCompared with: Its use of thymine distinguishes DNA's standard base set from RNA's.

• Double helixNarrower topic: The double helix is DNA’s characteristic molecular structure.

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

• TransformationNarrower topic: Transformation transfers this molecule between cells or from the environment into a cell.

• Alfred HersheyNarrower topic: The experiment strengthened the case that DNA, rather than protein, carries genetic instructions in bacteriophages.

• 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.

• Nucleic acid sequenceNarrower topic: DNA is one of the two molecule types whose base order defines this concept.

• Alternative biochemistryCompared with: It is the familiar genetic system that alternative information polymers would replace.

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

• Sequence analysis (bioinformatics)Narrower topic: DNA sequences are a primary input, and their nucleotide order carries genetic information.
