Gluten-Free Grains. Dr. D'Adamo explains that O blood types are the most common blood type on the planet. He warns, however, that they should avoid gluten-containing grains such as wheat and corn. Whole grains like oats and brown rice are acceptable alternatives.
DNA - (biochemistry) a long linear polymer found in the nucleus of a cell and formed from nucleotides and shaped like a double helix; associated with the transmission of genetic information; DNA is the king of molecules. deoxyribonucleic acid, desoxyribonucleic acid.
Sequencing DNA means determining the order of the four chemical building blocks - called bases - that make up the DNA molecule. The sequence tells scientists the kind of genetic information that is carried in a particular DNA segment. For example, scientists can use sequence information to determine which stretches of DNA contain genes and which stretches carry regulatory instructions, turning genes on or off. In addition, and importantly, sequence data can highlight changes in a gene that may cause disease. In the DNA double helix, the four chemical bases always bond with the same partner to form base pairs. Adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T); cytosine (C) always pairs with guanine (G). This pairing is the basis for the mechanism by which DNA molecules are copied when cells divide, and the pairing also underlies the methods by which most DNA sequencing experiments are done.
