Actually...

...as great as DNA is the really cool stuff is RNA.
It is likely that the first coded genome was made of RNA (some viruses still use it) whence evolved proteins and then DNA itself.
RNA transcribes the message of DNA, transfers it outside of the nucleus, creates its own factory, then translates the code into proteins, which make life.
DNA makes RNA makes protein.
But the key step is RNA.
Be kind to yours today!
