Why do scientists study DNA?
…after all it's just a chemical with a funny name - "deoxyribonucleic acid". The answer is simply because DNA stores our hereditary blueprint!
Scientists have made great progress in deciphering the DNA’s code. By understanding how genes control cellular functions, we begin to explain human diseases. We now know that damage to DNA can erase genetic information, and this is the primary cause of cancer. Yet, our DNA still holds many of its secrets…
