How to use DNA in a sentence?

1. Bruce Harrington:

   I began my quest in the mid 90s. It was 15 years until we heard that there was a DNA sample taken from our scene.

2. Tanya Van Cuylenborg:

   After a while you have to sort of adjust to the fact that it seems as though the case is never going to be solved, and that probably would be true if it wasn’t for these advancements in DNA techniques.

3. Felix Grewe:

   It's interesting to reaffirm that what people have been thinking for nearly 100 years is true, that this was a species driven to extinction by human activities, when this butterfly was collected 93 years ago, nobody was thinking about sequencing its DNA. That's why we have to keep collecting, for researchers 100 years in the future.

4. Professor Deborah Fuller:

   The current flu vaccine is an inactivated virus, the whole virus is first grown in eggs, then it’s inactivated and injected. DNA vaccines are different. Instead of producing the vaccines in eggs, we instead inject a genetic code for proteins from the virus into our own cells. Our cells then read the code and produce the viral proteins, [aka] antigens. When our immune system sees the antigens, it makes immune responses that can protect against influenza infection.

5. Stanislav Martynenko:

   The more profiles we have, statistically, the more matches we make. It's obvious we don't have enough DNA from relatives of the missing persons, it will take years after the war ends to find all the unidentified human bodies.
