thymines
Adenine's pairing partners
Thymines is the plural of thymine, one of the four chemical bases that make up DNA.
Thymine pairs with adenine in the double helix structure.
The word appears in technical contexts discussing genetic sequences or molecular biology: The thymines in this segment have been replaced by uracil.
