Score a double hit with the Giant Microbes DNA Twin Pack (Keyring and Original)! Discover the double helix-y details of deoxyribonucleic acid (aka DNA) – the molecular marvel that contains the code of life. Identified in 1869 and tackled in 1953, DNA's dual strands of sugar and phosphate house the rows of base pairs: A and T, G and C. Spell it out – A,T,G, and C means four-letter words code for the 20 amino acids needed for life. The human genome stacks up 3 billion letters (bases) – a billion words (codons) – across its 23 chromosomes, containing over 20,000 genes that define us. 99% of DNA in each individual is identical, yet tiny variances make us all unique... starting with you!
