National DNA Day focuses on the successful completion of the Human Genome Project back in 2003, as well as the discovery of DNA’s double helix in 1953. The aim of National DNA Day is to offer students, teachers and the public an opportunity to learn about and celebrate the latest advances in genomic research and explore how those advances might impact their lives.
