Publications. Professors are required to publish regularly in refereed or peer-reviewed scholarly journals. Normally, professors in doctorate-granting programs in English and communications are expected to publish an average of two major articles in refereed journals a year or one book every five years.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things. All known cellular life and some viruses contain DNA. The main role of DNA in the cell is the long-term storage of information. It is often compared to a blueprint, since it contains the instructions to construct other components of the cell, such as proteins and RNA molecules.
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a long molecule that contains our unique genetic code. Like a recipe book it holds the instructions for making all the proteins in our bodies. 1  Your genome is made of a chemical called deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA for short. DNA contains four basic building blocks or â bases â: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). 2  The order, or sequence, of these bases form the instructions in the genome. 3  DNA is a two-stranded molecule.
