Today is #NationalDNADay 🧬

Here’s a look at what makes up DNA’s structure and how the genetic code is translated into proteins: https://www.compoundchem.com/2015/03/24/dna/

🧬 Happy #DNADay! 🧬

This could be a great time to have a look at our programme and sign up for one of our upcoming symposia on the topic:
🔹'Reconstructing the human past: using ancient and modern genomics' ➡️ s.embl.org/ees24-09
🔹'The complex life of RNA' ➡️ s.embl.org/ees24-11
🔹'DNA replication: from basic biology to disease' ➡️ s.embl.org/ees24-12

Submit your abstract now and we hope to see you this autumn 🙌🏻

#NationalDNADay 🧬 As cells divide, they must copy all of their chromosomes once and only once, or chaos would ensue. How do they do it? Key controls happen well before replication even starts.

It's National DNA Day!

I'm #adopted , so until I had my #DNA tested by 23andMe, AncestryDNA, & FTDNA, I had no idea who or what I was. My adopters told me I was French. Turns out, I'm #Basque , #Finnish , #Norwegian , a little #Irish , a little #English .

Do you know your ethnicity? I find the subject fascinating--prolly bc I was always denied my most fundamental truths re: ancestry & heritage. If you'd like to share, I'd love to hear your story. #NationalDNADay #adoption #AdopteeVoices
