Dna 🧬
Copy & Meaning

A DNA double helix — representing genetics, the blueprint of life, and the extraordinary molecular structure that encodes the hereditary information for all living organisms. The double helix structure, discovered by Watson, Crick, and Franklin in 1953, revealed how genetic information is stored and transmitted. Genomic science has revolutionized medicine, archaeology (ancient DNA), and forensics.

'It's in our DNA' means something is fundamental and inherent to an organization or person. Used for genetics and biology content, medical research discussions, ancestry and genealogy, forensic science, the intrinsic characteristics metaphor, and any context where the fundamental biological basis of identity, heredity, and life processes needs representation.
