In case you didn’t know, National DNA Day is a thing. And it’s today.
On April 25, 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick published an article in the journal Nature about the structure of DNA, which was a huge deal back then.
Celebrate the anniversary of this discovery and their publication by — what else — testing your own DNA.
AncestryDNA, 23andMe, LivingDNA, and Geno 2.0 Next Generation by National Geographic are all having major sales on their DNA testing kits (like, up to $60 off major). Thanks science!
