DNA Database

Meaning

A DNA Database is a structured, centralized digital repository that systematically stores and manages vast quantities of genetic sequence information, including individual single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), mitochondrial DNA, and Y-chromosome data, linked to personal identifiers or phenotypic health records. These databases are foundational tools in genomic medicine, enabling large-scale research into the genetic underpinnings of complex traits, diseases, and individual variations in hormonal responsiveness. The utility of such a resource lies in its capacity to correlate specific genetic variants with observable physiological outcomes.
