This
program presents a brief history of genetic science, from Darwin’s theory of
evolution through the discovery of DNA and the invention of gene splicing.
Darwin hypothesized a theory, but understood nothing of the mechanism of
evolution. The program follows the history of scientific understanding of
the nucleus, chromosomes, and the location of hereditary information;
explains the work of Gregor Mendel and Thomas Hunt Morgan; and features
exclusive interviews with James Watson, who unravelled the secret of DNA’s
structure, and Stanley Cohen, who first spliced the gene and created
contemporary cloning techniques. Spectacular computer animation displays the
beautiful simplicity of the DNA molecule, and reveals how the gene was
spliced. (24 minutes)
