WHAT IS DNA DAY?
National DNA Day is a unique day when students, teachers, and the public can learn more about genetics and genomics. The day commemorates the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003 and the discovery of DNA's double helix in 1953. On this day, events and competitions are held around the world for young people, students and the general public. Students have the opportunity to present their scientific projects to researchers in this field, as well as participate in various lectures. The pilot year of this event took place in Slovakia in 2003 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the structure of DNA. This year is the 68th anniversary of this discovery, which we will commemorate in the online space with a connection to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
