Term Name: DNA metabolic process
Synonyms: cellular DNA metabolism, DNA metabolism
Definition: Any cellular metabolic process involving deoxyribonucleic acid. This is one of the two main types of nucleic acid, consisting of a long, unbranched macromolecule formed from one, or more commonly, two, strands of linked deoxyribonucleotides.
