thymine
The most common nucleotides are adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and uracil.
From the en.wikipedia.org
In the given example, the adenine at the 76th position was replaced by a thymine.
From the en.wikipedia.org
He is attaching adenine and thymine as the outer sequences of triblock copolymers.
From the sciencedaily.com
Those rules dictate adenine pairs only with thymine and cytosine only with guanine.

Overexposure to sun leads to the formation of thymine dimers, a form of DNA damage.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Under normal conditions, a guanine matches with a cytosine, and an adenine with a thymine.
From the sciencedaily.com
Base pairs are made up of adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine.

More examples
  • A base found in DNA (but not in RNA) and derived from pyrimidine; pairs with adenine
  • Thymine /u02C8u03B8au026Amu1D7Bn/ (T, Thy) is one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid of DNA that are represented by the letters Gu2013Cu2013Au2013T. The others are adenine, guanine, and cytosine. Thymine is also known as 5-methyluracil, a pyrimidine nucleobase. In RNA, thymine is replaced by the nucleobase uracil. Thymine was first isolated (from calves' thymus glands) in 1893 by Albrecht Kossel and Albert Neumann.
  • A base, C5H6N2O2, obtained by applying sulphuric acid to thymic acid; it pairs with adenine in DNA
  • A pyrimidine base; one of the four molecules containing nitrogen present in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA; designated by letter T
  • A nitrogenous base, one member of the base pair A- T (adenine- thymine).
  • One of the bases. It contains nitrogen, and it participates in the formation of the nucleic acid DNA in animal and plant cells. It is often abbreviated to T.
  • A chemical that is a basic structural unit of a living thing's DNA. It is one of 4 key bases or nucleotides (cytosine (C), guanine (G) and adenine (A)) that repeat throughout the length of a DNA chain. The order of their sequence defines the arrangement of genes.
  • One of the pyrimidine nucleic acid bases that make up nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA (but not RNA). The antiviral drugs AZT and d4T are nucleoside analogs associated with thymine.
  • A base in DNA that always bonds with adenine (A).
