Cheek swab molecule (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dna

(Other definitions for dna that I've seen before include "Initially, it stores genetic information" , "Substance in chromosomes that stores genetic data" , "Genetic-code molecule" , "Double-helix molecule (abbr.)" , "Substance that stores genetic information - often used by police" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
