I believe the answer is:
dna
(Other definitions for dna that I've seen before include "Main constituent of chromosomes" , "Genetic code" , "Substance in chromosomes that stores genetic information, used by police" , "Genetic-code molecule" , "Briefly, substance in chromosomes used by police to identify criminals" .)
