This year, National DNA Day will be celebrated in schools on Friday, April 24th. On this day and throughout April, National DNA Day Ambassadors, who are researchers from across the country, will visit dozens of high schools. Ambassadors will talk with students about their research, current topics in genetics and genomics, and careers in the field. Learn more and get involved in activities by visiting the National DNA Day website and joining the discussion onFacebook and Twitter.
Congress approved the first National DNA Day in April 2003 to celebrate both the completion of the Human Genome Project and the 50 th anniversary of Watson and Crick's discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) at the National Institutes of Health sponsors National DNA Day.
