Humans have the enzyme hSMUG1, which removes any U residues that occur in single-stranded DNA during replication or transcription.  Two other human DNA glycosylases, TDG and MBD4, remove either U or T residues paired with G, generated by deamination of cytosine or 5-methylcytosine, respectively.

The noble gases are left out of the trends in atomic radii because there is great debate over the experimental values of their atomic radii.

The SI units for measuring atomic radii are the nanometer (nm) and the picometer (pm). 1 nm = 1 X 109 m; 1 pm = 1 X 10-12 m.
