How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T17741599 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

“Molecular computation of solutions to combinatorial problems”
“Molecular computation of solutions to combinatorial problems” is Leonard Adleman’s pioneering 1994 paper that introduced DNA computing by demonstrating how molecular biology techniques can solve a combinatorial search problem.
-
C.
X-ray diffraction images of DNA
X-ray diffraction images of DNA are high-resolution photographic patterns that revealed the helical structure of DNA and were crucial in determining its double-helix model.
