It took several days to "write" the DNA form of the book, and even longer to read it back.
Biologist James Watson and physicist Francis Crick realized our DNA molecules form a three-dimensional double helix in 1953.
These symbols represent the four basic chemical letters, or bases, the body uses to form DNA--guanine, cytosine, adenine and thymine.
In fact, the DNA's form factor reminds us of what you'll find on the One X and Samsung Galaxy S III: at 70.5mm (2.78 inches) wide, it's only 0.6mm wider than the One X and is actually 0.1mm narrower than the GS3.
To Dr Baselt this suggested that tiny magnetic particles might be attached to molecules using either antibodies (which will bond to proteins, sugars and so on) or single-stranded DNA (which will bond to a complementary DNA strand to form the famous double helix).
Together, they combine to form the DNA of the sustainability driven science that is needed today.
The G-quadruplex seems to form in DNA where guanine exists in substantial quantities.
The experimental drugs latch on to the sense strand of RNA, a messenger form of DNA, thereby blocking the RNA from producing proteins that cause disease.
As we move to electronic health records and potentially a world where there is much more health data in the form of DNA sequence and other information, I wonder how important privacy and secrecy really are.
Milan Stojanovic at Columbia University is building circuits using a different form of strand displacement based on catalytic DNA strands, also known as deoxyribozymes or DNAzymes.
It transpires that they can form during cell division at the point where DNA is being replicated, and may have a hand in the development of some cancers -- meaning they're of great interest to oncologists.

Ever since Watson and Crick first described DNA, genetic research was built around what was known as "the central dogma"--genes, written in the DNA, were recipes for proteins, which in turn interacted with one another to form the working guts of living organisms.
Two breakthrough drugs from Genentech (nyse: DNA - news - people ) offer hope for patients with the more severe "wet" form of age-related macular degeneration, or AMD.
Two breakthrough drugs from Genentech (nyse: DNA - news - people ) offer hope for patients with the more severe "wet" form (which is more common in Asia than in the U.S.) of age-related macular degeneration, or AMD.
There, a DNA-sequencing machine fired lasers at the fragments and read their genetic code, yielding a computer file in the form of As, Cs, Gs and Ts.
WSJ: Scientists Store King Speech, Shakespeare Sonnets in DNA
Inheriting LG's design DNA and heritage, the blend of delicate design and technology placed the emphasis on simplicity with a completely black unibody form in the Optimus G.
Zeneca ordered a "wet" copy of a promising gene, in the form of a clone -- a colony of bacterial cells whose members all carry the desired snippet of DNA. These bacterial guinea pigs can then be used to try out antibacterial chemicals.
