Description:
In the 20th century, scientists deciphered the rules of inheritance, learned to manipulate DNA and sequenced the entire human genome. Dr. Eric Lander takes us on a tour of these remarkable discoveries. Studying the human genome and comparing it with the genomes of other species, in particular the mouse, offer many clues to understanding human evolution and health.
