Definitions for: DNA
DNA

  1. (deoxyribonucleic acid) the molecule that carries inherited information in all living things. The operation of DNA is somewhat like that of a computer. It consists of nucleotides that can be strung together in any sequence to encode a blueprint for other molecules. In this manner, a set of DNA molecules contains the entire plans for building a plant, animal, or human being. Like computer programs, DNA contains "go to" instructions that skip over some of the material.
  2. (Windows Distributed InternetArchitecture) Microsoft's model for developing distributed computing applications withWindows.
