The genetic information of all living cells is stored in the DNA composed of the four canonical bases adenine (a), cytosine (c), guanine (g) and thymine (t).

所有活细胞的基因信息都储存在由四种碱基，即腺嘌呤(A)、鸟嘌呤(G)、胞嘧啶(C)、胸腺嘧啶(T)构成的DNA里。

This article's examples use DNA, which consists of two strands of adenine (A), cytosine (C), thymine (T), and guanine (G) nucleotides.

本文的示例使用 DNA，DNA 由腺嘌呤（A）、胞嘧啶（C）、胸腺嘧啶（T）和鸟嘌呤（G）组成的核苷酸双螺旋组成。

The four bases - adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C) - spell out the genes.

Most important, they can't read the 3 billion letters--A, C, T and G, for the nucleotides adenine, cytosine, thymine and guanine--in the human genome from beginning to end, the way one reads a book.

FORBES: Magazine Article

Embedded in each set of 23 chromosomes are 3 billion base pairs of DNA, known by the letters A, T, C and G, for the chemical bases adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine.
