The 25th April 2008 will be the first European DNA day. This was the day of the publication in Nature 1953 (171:737-8) of the Watson and Crick model of the double helix; 50 years later, the (near) completed sequencing of the human genome was published (on 14 April 2003).

To commemorate these two dates, the ASHGExit this website begun an educational initiative, the so-called DNA day, in 2003. The European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) decided to join in this year. The Education Committee of the ESHG launched a DNA Day Essay contestExit this website among high-school students.
