Abbreviation for Deoxyribonucleic Acid, it is the building block of life common to all organisms, containing hereditary genetic units of information crucial to cell and tissue growth.
Comprehensively, it is an organic chemical of complex molecular structure that is found in all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and in many viruses. DNA codes genetic information for the transmission of inherited traits.
Regarding COVID-19, there has been a scientific study that sequencing the DNA of patients screened for coronavirus may end up saving lives in the future. This is because we can get to study what happens to the genomes of coronavirus patients. By doing so, we may get even closer to formulating a vaccine that would stop the epidemic from affecting human lives.
But then, this is just one idea that the scientists are looking at, currently. Yet, it looks promising. We still have a lot to discover and the scientists and the current US administration is not stopping until we can get the health care we all need.
