Nuclear DNA, also known as nuclear genomic DNA or simply genomic DNA, is the genetic material found within the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. This type of DNA contains all the genetic information required for the development, functioning, and reproduction of an organism. Some synonyms for this term include nuclear genome, chromosomal DNA, and nuclear genetic material. Nuclear DNA is inherited from both parents and is responsible for traits such as eye color, height, and susceptibility to certain diseases. It is also used in DNA testing and forensic analysis to identify individuals and determine relationships between them. The study of nuclear DNA is a key aspect of genetics and molecular biology.
