Thymine
Thymine (T) is one of four chemical bases in DNA, the other three being adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). Within the DNA molecule, thymine bases located on one strand form chemical bonds with adenine bases on the opposite strand.
Thymine dimer
See pyrimidine dimer.
Ti plasmid
The large plasmid found in those Agrobacterium tumefaciens cells able to direct crown gall formation on certain species of plants.
Thymine: A nitrogenous base. Pairs with adenine in DNA molecules.
Virus: A particle consisting of a nucleic acid core surrounded by a protein coat. New virus particles can only be produced by a cell which is infected by the virus.
Thymine: One of the four nucleotide bases in DNA; pairs with adenine. In RNA, thymine is replaced with uracil.
thymine One of the pyrimidine bases in DNA, thymine is replaced by uracil in RNA.
thyroid-stimulating hormone A hormone produced by the anterior pituitary that stimulates the production and release of thyroid hormones.
Thymine (T): A nitrogenous base, one member of the base pair AT (adeninethymine).
Transcription: The synthesis of an RNA copy from a sequence of DNA (a gene); the first step in gene expression. Compare translation.
Thymine
One of the four bases in DNA that make up the letters ATCG, thymine is the "T". The others are adenine, cytosine, and guanine. Thymine always pairs with adenine. [Talking Glossary]

Thymine (T)
Thymine is a pyrimidine base (nitrogenous base) and constituent of nulceotides and as such one member of the base pair A-T (adenine-thymine) in DNA.
Guanine (G) ...
Thymine (T): A base; one of the molecular components of DNA and RNA. Always bonds with adenine (T-A).
Transcription: The process by which DNA passes genetic information to RNA. Transcription is the first step in producing proteins.
thymine A pyrimidine base occurring in DNA but not in RNA.
thymus gland A ductless mass of flattened lymphoid tissue situated behind the top of the sternum; it forms antibodies in the newborn and is involved in the development of the immune system.
A pair of complementary nitrogenous bases in a DNA molecule--adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine. Also, the unit of measurement for DNA sequences. Bioaugmentation.
Base sequence -- a partnership of organic bases found in DNA and RNA; adenine forms a base pair with thymine (or uracil) and guanine with cytosine in a double-stranded nucleic acid molecule.

These nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base (A = adenine, T = thymine, C = cytosine, G = guanine) attached to a sugar called deoxyribose and the sugar is attached to a phosphate group which is negatively charged.
He found it contained four nitrogenous bases: cytosine, thymine, adenine, and guanine; deoxyribose sugar; and a phosphate group.
One significant difference between RNA and DNA sequence is the presence of U, or uracil in RNA instead of the T, or thymine of DNA.
A common type of mutation caused by ultraviolet radiation occurs when two thymines become bonded to each other, forming a kink in the DNA molecule.
An organic acid and polymer composed of four nitrogenous bases--adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine linked via intervening units of phosphate and the pentose sugar deoxyribose.
Two nitrogenous (purine or pyrimidine) bases (adenine and thymine or guanine and cytosine) held together by weak hydrogen bonds. Two strands of DNA are held together in the shape of a double helix by the bonds between base pairs.
A subunit of DNA or RNA consisting of a nitrogenous base (purine in adenine and guanine, pyrimidine in thymine, or cytosine for DNA and uracil cytosine for RNA), a phosphate molecule, and a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA).
Each strand consists of alternating phosphate (PO4) and pentose sugar (2-deoxyribose), and attached on the sugar is a nitrogenous base, which can be adenine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine.
Included in this group are the nucleoside analogs, chemicals that are similar to one of the bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine) that comprise DNA, but sufficiently different enough to block viral DNA synthesis.

(RNA, like DNA, is made up of nucleotides although t he nucleotide uracil (U) is used in place of thymine (T).) The RNA transcribed from a gene is called messenger RNA.
Nucleotide A building block of a nucleic acid consisting of a base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, uracil) joined to a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) and a phosphate.
Null mutation A mutation which leads to the absence of a gene product.
A nitrogenous base, such as cytosine, thymine, or uracil, with a characteristic single-ring structure; one of the components of nucleic acids.
The dye stains regions of chromosomes that are rich in the base pairs Adenine (A) and Thymine (T) producing a dark band.
Coding strand The strand of DNA that has the same sequence as the RNA transcript except it contains thymine (T) in place of uracil (U).
Codon Nucleotide triplet in mrna that encodes for a particular amino acid.
A single-stranded nucleic acid similar to DNA but having ribose sugar rather than deoxyribose sugar and uracil rather than thymine as one of the pyrimidine bases.
