Etymology
In computing the name DNA still comes from deoxyribonucleic acid, because this chemical is a long molecule made of 'letters' in a fixed order. A helpful way to remember the digital use is to think of DNA as nature's tiny hard drive: its letter sequences can 'store' very large amounts of data for a long time.
