Genetic info carrier (3)

I believe the answer is:

dna

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

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Universal.
