DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid. It encodes genetic information necessary for organisms’ development and functioning. Among eukaryotes (humans, animals, and plants), DNA is stored in the nucleus and in specific organelles (such as mitochondria and chloroplasts). In contrast, prokaryotes (bacteria) store it in their cytoplasm. Fingerprinting history began with Sir Alec Jeffreys’ discovery of the […]

The directions coded for by our DNA control everything from growth & development to cell specification, neuronal function, and metabolism. Human DNA is 99.9% identical […]
