Today is National DNA Day. Who knew there was a DNA day? Here at IDENTIGENE we love the idea of a day to celebrate our passion. After all, DNA is the heart of our company; it helps us do what we do best: paternity testing, as well as other relationship DNA testing, to help people find biological relationships using life’s building blocks – DNA!
What is National DNA Day?
Today is designed for learning more about DNA testing and genomics. This can be done in classrooms or just by bringing DNA testing to the attention of the public for those who are interested in understanding more.
Genome.gov sponsors a chat room on this day every year, focusing on questions about DNA that can be answered by professionals. You can also check out the chat-room archives and download presentations being offered to learn more about DNA.
The American Society of Human Genetics is also joining in on the celebrations. On their website you will find the 6th annual DNA Day essay Contest, and ‘Genetics 101.”
Join in the fun and spread the word that today is National DNA Day!
