Double helix of genetic information (3)

I believe the answer is:

dna

(Other definitions for dna that I've seen before include "It carries genetic information" , "Genetic code" , "Genetic carrier" , "Briefly, substance in chromosomes used by police to identify criminals" , "Main constituent of chromosomes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
