In the era of advanced technology , we are constantly surrounded by devices that collect and store our data. This includes our genetic information, which is becoming increasingly popular to store in online databases for medical, research, and genealogy purposes. However, this convenience comes with a risk: your DNA can be stolen. DNA theft is a growing concern as DNA databases become more prevalent. Law enforcement agencies often use these databases to solve crimes, but hackers or malicious individuals can access them. Once your DNA is stolen, it can be used for various nefarious purposes, including identity theft, blackmail, or even framing you for a crime. One of the main ways DNA theft occurs is by hacking DNA databases. In recent years, several high-profile cases of large-scale data breaches have occurred, including the theft of millions of user's personal information from popular genealogy companies. This information can be sold on the dark web, where it can be used to create ...

The genetic code is the instructions that tell a cell which amino acids to use in making proteins. The code uses the four nucleotide bases of DNA -- adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T) and cytosine (C) -- to form three-letter "codons" that specify which amino acid is needed at each position within a protein. The genetic code is a sequence of nucleotides (codons) in DNA that is translated into a sequence of amino acids in proteins. This is how genetic instructions are carried from cell to cell in a living organism and passed on to subsequent generations. The DNA of a cell has the sequence of adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and uracil (U). A messenger RNA molecule is synthesized from the DNA and uses these bases to direct protein synthesis. When a ribosome assembles mRNA, it reads the codons and translates them into amino acids. It also includes a stop signal, called a termination codon, and a start signal called an activation codon. The genetic code is non-ambiguous,...
