That's pretty crazy. Basically makes everything you ever learned in Biology class disappear. but can they really still call it DNA? It's not made of the same blocks as ours, so i don't think the name would be the same.

Deoxyribose? Check.
Nucleic Acid? Check.
To be technical.. Yeah, it's different from what we're used to, but it's certainly still DNA.
