Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the posted coordinates! As a geo-geneticist, you must solve the puzzle below:

Nucleobases are nitrogen-containing biological compounds found within DNA, RNA, nucleotides, and nucleosides. Also termed nitrogenous bases or simply bases, their ability to form base-pairs and to stack upon one another lead directly to the helical structure of DNA and RNA.

The primary nucleobases are cytosine, guanine, adenine, thymine and uracil, abbreviated as C, G, A, T, and U, respectively. Because A, G, C, and T appear in the DNA, these molecules are called DNA-bases; A, G, C, and U are called RNA-bases. Uracil replaces thymine in RNA. These two bases are identical except that uracil lacks the 5' methyl group. Adenine and guanine belong to the double-ringed class of molecules called purines. Cytosine, thymine, and uracil are all pyrimidines.
