I believe the answer is:

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