Your genome is made of a chemical called deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA for short. DNA contains four basic building blocks or 'bases': adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). DNA has a unique 'double helix' shape, like a twisted ladder.

I have no idea which of the any number of facts involving DNA you might mean. Please be more specific.

I thought for a second maybe you were asking what DNA sequence coded for the peptide sequence BAREFACT, but there's no amino acid that has the single-letter abbreviation of B (the rest of the letters in that phrase are represented, though).

Genes are the basic physical unit of heredity. They lead to the expression of hereditary characteristics; for example, genes determine what color hair you have, how tall you are, etc.

A random fact about DNA is that DNA was first isolated by Friedrich Miescher, who in 1869, discovered a microscopic substance in the pus of discarded surgical bandages that he called nuclein.
