DNA contains genetic information that determines many of our characteristics and traits. A study found a relationship between certain DNA sequences called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and academic achievement, with some people having a higher likelihood of learning problems due to their genetic makeup. Researchers concluded that DNA has a direct connection to educational outcomes. The DNA sequences linked to academic performance could potentially be used to provide personalized learning support for students predisposed to difficulties. DNA can also be used to securely store vast amounts of information for long periods of time, helping to preserve historical records for future generations.
