Examples of cytosine
cytosine
The most common nucleotides are adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and uracil.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The DNA base cytosine is often modified by a chemical unit called a methyl group.
From the newscientist.com
Chemical structure of cytosine, one of the four nucleotide bases that make up DNA.
From the sciencedaily.com
Those rules dictate adenine pairs only with thymine and cytosine only with guanine.
From the sciencedaily.com
Its DNA is reprogrammed, the theory goes, by a process called cytosine methylation.
From the economist.com
Those with the nucleic acid cytosine in one particular spot on the gene ranked high.
From the time.com
However, the role of the cytosine has remained mysterious for several years.
From the nature.com
It is often associated with changes in cytosine methylation and histone modification.
From the nature.com
The processes of CpG methylation and cytosine deaminization are especially important.

- A base found in DNA and RNA and derived from pyrimidine; pairs with guanine
- Cytosine is one of the four main bases found in DNA and RNA. It is a pyrimidine derivative, with a heterocyclic aromatic ring and two substituents attached (an amine group at position 4 and a keto group at position 2). The nucleoside of cytosine is cytidine. ...
- One of the pyrimidine nitrogenous bases occurring in both DNA and RNA. PICTURE
- A pyrimidine base that is a component of nucleotides and thus a normal component of DNA and RNA. See the Figure at NHGRI.
- A nitrogenous base, one member of the base pair G- C (guanine and cytosine).
- A pyrimidine base found in DNA and RNA.
- One of the four types of 'base' that spells out our DNA code. When a base is attached to a phosphate and sugar, it makes up a nucleotide, one of DNA's 'building blocks'. In the double-helical structure of DNA, C (cytosine) pairs with G (guanine). A is also present in RNA. ...
- A pyrimidine base; one of the four molecules containing nitrogen present in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA; designated by letter C.
- A chemical that is a basic structural unit of a living thing's DNA. It is one of 4 key bases or nucleotides (adenine (A), guanine (G) and thymine (T)) that repeat throughout the length of a DNA chain. The order of their sequence defines the arrangement of genes.
