DNA is one of nature’s greatest marvels - a tiny molecule that continues to surprise the complex world it has helped architect. The human genome has a staggering 20,000-25,000 genes and each one has a story to tell - we have only just begun to scratch the surface.
We have discovered that it makes us who we are - each with our unique DNA profiles. We’ve seen how it can tell expectant parents the risk of their child inheriting a certain health condition. We now know that it can even have a bearing on what drugs we should take to treat an illness. We see its applications in everything from medicine and pharma to forensics and agriculture.
