Understanding DNA

It's Discovery, Accuracy, and Privacy Concerns

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all known living organisms. It was discovered in 1953 by scientists James Watson and Francis Crick, who unveiled the famous double helix structure, showing how DNA is shaped and how it works within our cells.

DNA is incredibly accurate for identifying biological relationships and individual characteristics because it is unique to each person, except for identical twins. This accuracy comes from the way DNA is passed down from parents to children, with each person receiving half of their DNA from each parent. This precise genetic coding allows tests to determine familial relationships, ancestral backgrounds, and health-related genetic markers with near certainty.
