| DNA synthesis | <molecular biology> The linking together of nucleotides (as deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates) to form DNA. In vivo, most synthesis is DNA replication, but incorporation of precursors also occurs in repair. In the special case of retroviruses, DNA synthesis is directed by an RNA template (see reverse transcriptase). (18 Nov 1997) |

| enzymatic synthesis | Synthesis by enzymes. See: biosynthesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kiliani-Fischer synthesis | A synthetic procedure for the extension of the carbon atom chain of aldoses by treatment with cyanide; hydrolysis of the cyanohydrins followed by reduction of the lactone yields the homologous aldose; with this method, d-glucose and d-mannose can be synthesised from d-arabinose.

| unscheduled DNA synthesis | <cell biology, molecular biology> Any synthesis of DNA that happens ouside the S phase of the cell cycle. (13 Nov 1997) |
