Internationally common abbreviation for the English term deoxyribonucleinacid. The German DNS (deoxyribonucleic acid) is hardly used any more to avoid confusion with the Domain Name System (DNS) of the internet. The structure of DNA was elucidated in 1953 by the biologists James Watson (*1928) and Francis Crick (1916-2004), who, together with Maurice Wilkins (1916-2004), were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1962.
