DNA Day 2025

Every year on 25 April, DNA Day celebrates one of the biggest milestones in modern science: the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003 and the discovery of DNA’s double-helix structure in 1953. This year, DNA Day 2025 gives us something even more meaningful. It’s a chance to look back on more than 20 years of breakthroughs and reflect on how far we’ve come in understanding genetics and changing lives for the better.
