DNA-templated silver nanoclusters
DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) are fluorescent clusters of a few dozen silver atoms stabilized by DNA, first made in 2004 and used for biosensing and bioimaging.
DNA-templated synthesis
DNA-templated synthesis is a method of performing chemical reactions in which DNA base pairing brings reagents together, controlling which reaction occurs and encoding each product's identity; it was first described by Gartner and Liu in 2001.
DNA–DNA hybridization
DNA–DNA hybridization is a technique in which DNA from two organisms reassociates, measuring genome-wide similarity; it was the bacterial species standard until whole-genome methods like ANI replaced it.
DNABERT
DNABERT is a family of transformer language models for DNA sequences, adapted from BERT and first published in 2021 for tasks like promoter and splice site prediction.
DnaG Primase
DnaG primase, the bacterial DNA primase encoded by dnaG, is a 65-kDa single-subunit toprim-fold RNA polymerase that makes 10–12-nt RNA primers for DNA polymerase III; structurally unrelated to archaeo-eukaryotic primases and a proposed, still-unexploited antibiotic target.
DnaJ domain
DnaJ domain (J-domain): ~70-residue, four-helix module defining Hsp40/J-domain proteins, named for E. coli DnaJ; its HPD motif stimulates Hsp70 ATP hydrolysis at the NBD-SBD interface.
DNAJB1
DNAJB1 (Hdj1, Hsp40, Sis1) is a human class B Hsp40/J-domain co-chaperone on chromosome 19p13.12 that stimulates Hsp70 ATPase, is autoinhibited by its GF region, drives amyloid disaggregation, and forms the DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion defining fibrolamellar carcinoma.
DNAJB6
DNAJB6 (MRJ, Hsj2), gene at 7q36.3, encodes a human Hsp40/J-domain co-chaperone of HSP70 that suppresses polyglutamine aggregation; dominant G/F-domain mutations cause limb-girdle muscular dystrophy D1 (LGMDD1).
DNAJB6-related limb-girdle muscular dystrophy D1
DNAJB6-related limb-girdle muscular dystrophy D1, also called LGMD1D, is a rare autosomal dominant muscular dystrophy caused by DNAJB6 gene mutations, typically causing adult-onset pelvic girdle weakness.
DNAPL
DNAPL (dense non-aqueous phase liquid) is an organic liquid denser than water and only slightly soluble in it; common examples include TCE, PCE, coal tar, and PCB-containing oils.
DNase-Seq
DNase-Seq is a sequencing method that maps DNase I hypersensitive sites, the nucleosome-depleted open chromatin regions where regulatory DNA is accessible, across a genome, combining DNase I footprinting with next-generation sequencing.
DNASE1
DNASE1 (DNL1, DRNI), gene ID 1773 at 16p13.3, encodes the secreted endonuclease DNase I, which cleaves DNA to 5'-phosphate fragments, clears apoptotic DNA, and as recombinant dornase alfa (Pulmozyme) treats cystic fibrosis lung disease.
DNASTAR Lasergene
DNASTAR Lasergene is a commercial sequence analysis software package for molecular biology, genomics, and protein research, sold as annual licenses by DNASTAR, Inc. of Madison, Wisconsin.
DNB Bank
DNB Bank ASA is a Norwegian commercial bank and, since a 2021 reorganization, the listed parent of the DNB Group, Norway's largest financial institution, 34 per cent state-owned.
DNCE
DNCE is an American dance-rock band formed in 2015 by Joe Jonas, JinJoo Lee, Jack Lawless, and Cole Whittle; known for "Cake by the Ocean," the EP SWAAY, the 2016 self-titled album, an MTV Best New Artist VMA, and a 2022 Kygo-assisted return.
DNEG
DNEG, formerly Double Negative, is a London-founded visual effects and animation studio formed by the 2014 Prime Focus World merger. It has won eight Academy Awards for Best VFX since 2011, including both Dune films, and operates about 9,000 staff worldwide.
Dnepr
The Dnepr was a Russian-Ukrainian space launch vehicle converted from surplus Soviet SS-18 intercontinental ballistic missiles, flown commercially by ISC Kosmotras from 1999 to 2015.
Dnepropetrovsk maniacs
Dnepropetrovsk maniacs (дніпропетровські маніяки): Viktor Sayenko and Igor Suprunyuk, two 19-year-old Ukrainians who killed 21 people in Dnipro in June–July 2007, filmed some attacks, and received life sentences in 2009; accomplice Hanzha got 9 years.
Dneprostroi
Dneprostroi (Днепрострой) was the Soviet state construction organization, created by decree in 1927, that built the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station at Zaporizhzhia, formally opened in 1932.
Dnieper - South Bug
Dnieper - South Bug, Freshwater Ecoregion 425 (FEOW), a fish-biogeographic region covering the Dnieper and Southern Bug drainages in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia; temperate floodplain rivers, six Dnieper reservoirs, no strict endemic fishes, Kakhovka dam destroyed 2023.
Dnieper (Дніпро)
Dnieper (Дніпро, Dnipro), third-largest river in Europe after the Volga and Danube, rises in Russia's Valdai Hills and flows 2,285 km through Belarus and Ukraine to the Black Sea; dammed into six Soviet reservoirs, its Kakhovka dam was destroyed in 2023.
Dnieper Hydroelectric Station
Dnieper Hydroelectric Station, also known as DniproHES, is a hydroelectric dam on the Dnieper River at Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, built in 1927–1932 as the showpiece of Soviet electrification.
Dnieper reservoir cascade
The Dnieper reservoir cascade, also called the Dnipro Cascade of Hydroelectric Stations, is a chain of six reservoirs on the Dnipro River in Ukraine, built between 1932 and 1976.
Dnieper Upland
Dnieper Upland (Придніпровська височина, Dnipro Upland), an 80,000 sq km upland in central Ukraine between the Boh and Dnipro rivers on the Ukrainian Crystalline Shield, 180–322 m high, chernozem grain belt.
