Your DNA is pretty miraculous in that it encodes the entire blueprint for your body using a set of only four characters (amino acids).
The four nucleotides found in DNA are Adenine & thymine always pair together as does cytosine and guanine.
What does DNA do? DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce. To carry out these functions, DNA sequences must be converted into messages that can be used to produce proteins, which are the complex molecules that do most of the work in our bodies.
Genes are the instructions for how to make proteins. Proteins are the workers of every cell and carry out all the functions and tasks of our cells.

Genes make proteins through an intermediary called messenger RNA or mRNA. Without mRNA, there would be no proteins and no life.
"DNA makes RNA, and RNA makes protein" is known as the central dogma of molecular biology, or just the central dogma since it is so fundamental to our current understanding of biology. It explains the flow of genetic information within biological systems
All genes are made of DNA, but not all DNA is genes. In fact, less than 2% of our DNA is genes. The genes are scattered throughout our DNA with tons of “non-gene” DNA in between them.
Human DNA is divided into 23 pairs of discrete units (a total of 46). These are known as chromosomes. Each of the 23 chromosome pairs are matched up and have the same set of genes, so we have two copies of each gene
Despite all the genetic differences between human beings that account for differences in how we look, behave, or are susceptible to disease, humans are 99.9% identical in their genetic makeup.
If a cell in the body forgets its DNA we label it a cancer cell. It becomes a literal rebel without a cause, just like the mind does when it is cut off from its Cause - its origin and Source. Having forgotten it is part of a whole, both the cancer cell and egoic mind, live as if they are apart from the body rather than as a part of it. They live like a wave going against the natural current of the sea - fruitlessly and ignorantly resisting itself as Life. The cell, like the mind grows at a rate and in such a way that it ignorantly works against life rather than with and as it. Taking more than its fair share of nutrients and space, the cancerous cell and egoic mind puts its own body and the body of the world out of balance - out of homeostasis. The egoic mind and cancer cell alike causes itself and the body as a whole to suffer from different degrees of dis-ease, pain and insanity due to being disconnected to its cause, its origin and source.
