==History of DNA research==

In the late 19th century [[Friedrich Miescher]], a Swiss [[biochemist]], discovered an unusual [[acid]] in the [[nuclei]] of cells. The acid was named deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. In 1944 the American [[biologist]]s, [[Alfred Hershey]], [[Thomas Gilmore]] and [[Martha Chase]] used experiments with [[bacteria]] and [[bacteriophage]]s to show that DNA passed [[gene]]s from one generation to the next.

In countries like Soviet Union discoveries related to DNA and its functions were initially seen as unacceptable due providing hints that the life has been created. Many researchers have lost their jobs in these atheistic societies for being interested in genes and DNA ([[Lysenkoism]]).
