It's self-replicating

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dna

(Other definitions for dna that I've seen before include "Genetic carrier" , "Substance that stores genetic information in body" , "Genetic code" , "Genetic material often used by police" , "Main constituent of chromosomes" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
