National DNA Day 2023 will commemorate two special milestones:
The 20th anniversary of the mapping the human genome (Human Genome Project) in 2003 and the 70th anniversary of the discovery of the DNA double helix by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953.
National DNA Day is officially celebrated on April 25th and began after the first session of the 108th Congress passed concurrent resolutions designating the day in 2003. This annual celebration offers students, teachers and the public many exciting opportunities to learn about the latest advances in genomic research and explore what they may mean for their lives.
