How to use dna in a sentence?

1. Laura Weyrich:

   In ancient dental calculus, we are able to find DNA from the microorganisms in the plaque, but also anything else that has gone into the mouth, including food or work items -- for example if ancient people were cutting rope with their teeth, we might be able to see the DNA from the plant material used to make the rope.

2. Matt MacDonald:

   People visualize DNA in the classical helix structure in the way that Watson and Crick discovered it, when you put DNA into this solution, though, it starts to organize itself in a bulk liquid crystal. It’s not quite a liquid or a solid, it transitions through phases. That’s what people are seeing through these images. Being able to visualize it in an attractive way is pretty cool.

3. Felix Grewe:

   DNA is a very stable molecule, it can last a long time after the cells it's stored in have died.

4. Rodney Halbower:

   They did not have the incredible tool of DNA.

5. Meenakshi Bhanja:

   Has anything changed in India? I am sorry to say, no, outrage over an incident doesn't change the DNA of the society.
