Genetic ID (3)

I believe the answer is:

dna

(Other definitions for dna that I've seen before include "Genetic profile" , "Genetic material often used by police" , "Main constituent of chromosomes" , "Substance that stores genetic information - often used by police" , "It carries genetic information" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and the Newsday.
