[edit] Wikipedia

Wikipedia disagrees with your spelling. Alex Peckover 14:04, Jul 22, 2004 (CEST)

You're right, but your revision wasn't correct either. It had Nucleic double. I translated from Dutch: Deoxyribose Nucleide Zuur, but I guess English spelling differs a bit. I'll correct it. -- Redge 14:14, 22 Jul 2004 (CEST)

Okay, thanks. Alex Peckover 14:24, Jul 22, 2004 (CEST)

[edit] Removed

I removed this as it seems to be one fan's opinion rather than anything mentioned in a canon production. -FC 20:45, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Though we often see DNA or genome modifications being the cause of shapeshifting (TNG: "Genesis") and numerous other episodes, no such condition can exist. For example, if one were to receive a kidney transplant from a female, one would not immediately start to become female as a result of the foreign DNA. The Founders are never mentioned to alter their DNA as they shapeshift and routinely assume the form of inanimate objects which do not have DNA.

[edit] Background DNA

The Background section says that TOS never mentioned DNA. There is a reference here, although it was never used for identification purposes to my knowledge. Roygbiv666 16:31, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
