Unlike viruses, plasmids are naked DNA and do not encode genes necessary to encase the genetic material for transfer to a new host, though some classes of plasmids encode the sex pilus necessary for their own transfer.

Unlike DNA, most RNA molecules are single-stranded and can adopt very complex three-dimensional structures.

* Unlike double-stranded DNA, RNA is a single-stranded molecule in many of its biological roles and has a much shorter chain of nucleotides.

Unlike their paternal DNA, the maternal lineages of Nilotes in general show low-to-negligible amounts of Afro-Asiatic and other extraneous influences.

Unlike nuclear DNA, which is inherited from both parents and in which genes are rearranged in the process of recombination, there is usually no change in mtDNA from parent to offspring.

Unlike autosomal DNA and Y chromosome DNA, inheritance of mitochondrial DNA is not affected by adultery, since mitochondrial DNA of a naturally conceived child is inherited only from the mother.

Unlike the Firmicutes, the other main group of Gram-positive bacteria, they have DNA with a high GC-content, and some Actinomycetes species produce external spores.

Unlike the term biracial, which often is only used to refer to having parents or grandparents of two different races, the term multiracial may encompass biracial people but can also include people with more than two races in their heritage, or also may refer to the origin of more generationally distant genetic admixtures of more than one race in a person's DNA.

Unlike DNA, it only has two types of information, rather than four types, however, it still has a polar concept of transfer.

Unlike a normal F < sup >+</ sup > cell, hfr strains will, upon conjugation with a F < sup >−</ sup > cell, attempt to transfer their entire DNA through the mating bridge, not to be confused with the pilus.

Unlike in radiation therapy, where damage is done by targeting cell DNA, most photosensitizers target other cell structures.

Unlike other methods, cassette mutagenesis need not involve primer extension using DNA polymerase.

Unlike proteins and RNA, DNA usually lacks tertiary structure and therefore damage or disturbance does not occur at that level.

Unlike most other DNA viruses, parvoviruses are unable to activate DNA synthesis in host cells.

Unlike genomics, functional genomics focuses on the dynamic aspects such as gene transcription, translation, and protein – protein interactions, as opposed to the static aspects of the genomic information such as DNA sequence or structures.

Unlike pyrosequencing, the DNA can only be extended one nucleotide at a time.

Unlike protein A it is capable of cleaving the phi X viral DNA in the presence of single-stranded binding protein of the host.

Unlike traditional PCR analysis, RAPD does not require any specific knowledge of the DNA sequence of the target organism: the identical 10-mer primers will or will not amplify a segment of DNA, depending on positions that are complementary to the primers ' sequence.

Unlike mammals, the red blood cells of fish have DNA, and can become infected with viruses.

Unlike the Semitic Akkadians and their descendant Assyrians, whose Anatolian possessions were peripheral to their core lands in Mesopotamia, the Hittites were centred at Hattusa in north-central Anatolia by 2000 BC.

Unlike the Oriental Natural, the Akoya pearl, and the South Sea and Tahitian cultured pearls, abalone pearls are not primarily judged by their roundness.

Unlike most theropods, Albertosaurus and other tyrannosaurids were heterodont, with teeth of different forms depending on their position in the mouth.

Unlike other preparations, Argentines do not include chili in their version of chimichurri.

Unlike paintings, their sale was very rarely documented.

Unlike some non-mammalian animals ( such as lizards that shed their tails, salamanders that can regrow many missing body parts, and hydras, flatworms, and starfish that can regrow entire bodies from small fragments ), once removed, human extremities do not grow back, unlike portions of some organs, such as the liver.

Unlike their counterparts in the United Methodist Church, ELCA and ELCIC synod bishops do not appoint pastors to local congregations ( pastors, like their counterparts in the Episcopal Church, are called by local congregations ).

Unlike bioweapons, these midspectrum agents do not reproduce in their host and are typically characterized by shorter incubation periods.

Unlike deer, which have branched antlers that they shed annually, bongos and other antelopes have pointed horns that they keep throughout their lifespan.

Unlike many artists who were " discovered " and recorded in their normal venues, in December 1925 or January 1926, he was taken to Chicago, Illinois, to record his first tracks.

Unlike some of their continental European counterparts, the Monarch and her Governors-General in the Commonwealth realms hold significant " reserve " or " prerogative " powers, to be wielded in times of extreme emergency or constitutional crises usually to uphold parliamentary government.

Unlike fungi, oomycetes typically possess cell walls of cellulose and glucans rather than chitin, although some genera ( such as Achlya and Saprolegnia ) do have chitin in their walls.

Unlike the above-mentioned PCCs, these carbines utilize either magazines from their SMG derivatives, or proprietary magazines ( as in the case of the USC ).

Unlike wolves, mother coyotes will tolerate other lactating females in their pack.

Unlike most ( private ) corporate bodies, creatures of statute cannot expand their business interests into other diverse areas.

Unlike other anime and manga, where jokes and references are often exclusory or require knowledge of Japanese culture and / or the workings and conventions of anime, Cowboy Bebop is accessible – western audiences can connect with the characters readily and more fully understand their motivations and struggles.

Unlike in the Silver Age, his powers developed over several years, only coming to their peak when he was an adult.

Unlike the modern historian, most chroniclers tended to take their information as they found it, and made little attempt to separate fact from legend.

Unlike many other KBO their surface contains large amounts of ice ( H < sub > 2 </ sub > O ) and no or very little tholins .< ref name =" Pinilla-Alonso2009 ">

Unlike most social canids ( but similar to African wild dogs ), dholes let their pups eat first at a kill.

Unlike many shows of the time, Sullivan asked that most musical acts perform their music live, rather than lip-synching to their recordings.

Unlike their parents who challenged leaders with an intent to replace them, Gen Xers tend to ignore leaders and work for more long term institutional and systematic change through economic, media and consumer actions.
