Daly made significant contributions to the study of nucleic acids in addition to her work on histones. The purine and pyrimidine bases of DNA are essential parts of the genetic code, and she was involved in some of the first investigations on them. Her research in this field complemented Watson and Crick's double helix discoveries and advanced our understanding of DNA structure in general. Daly's subsequent studies went beyond molecular genetics to examine cardiovascular health, specifically the relationship between high blood pressure and cholesterol and arteriosclerosis, or the hardening of the arteries. Public health recommendations on nutrition and heart disease prevention were impacted by her research, which showed the link between diet and cardiovascular disease and clarified the effect of high-fat diets on heart disease. Daly also worked to support initiatives that inspired minority students to seek careers in science and was dedicated to mentoring new scientists, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds. Generations of scientists are still motivated by her legacy as a researcher and educator, particularly women and people of color in STEM areas.

Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
