- Abstract
DNA Day, celebrated on April 25th, commemorates the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA by James Watson, Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, and Maurice Wilkins in 1953. This groundbreaking discovery revolutionized our understanding of genetics and has led to advancements in medicine, agriculture, forensics, and more. DNA Day is a celebration of scientific knowledge, collaboration, and the potential of genetics to address global challenges. The Hereditas journal, which has been publishing since 1920, has played a significant role in the field of genetics and continues to publish groundbreaking research. As we continue to unlock the mysteries of DNA, it is important to prioritize ethical principles, privacy, and fair access to genetic insights for diverse communities. DNA Day serves as a reminder of the complexity and potential of our genetic code and is an opportunity to celebrate past achievements and future possibilities in genetics research.
