    Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNA and its role in heredity. DNA fingerprinting uses restriction enzymes to cut DNA at specific sites, revealing patterns that can identify individuals. It has been used in criminal investigations in the US since the 1980s. The human genome project mapped the entire human genome to improve understanding of human genetics and help develop cures and treatments. Gene therapy aims to treat diseases by inserting genes into patient's cells.
