Polymer composed of nucleotides (3)

I believe the answer is:

dna

(Other definitions for dna that I've seen before include "It carries genetic information" , "Substance that stores genetic information - often used by police" , "Genetic profile" , "Bodily substance that stores genetic information - police use it to identify" , "Genetic carrier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
