In 1990, a massive
enterprise was launched to decipher the ultimate instruction manual. The
Human Genome Project soon turned into a race and a feud. This program tracks
the tumultuous progress of the endeavor, detailing the scientific
innovations that led to its completion, as well as its political and
economic impact. Exceptional graphics bring home the daunting task of
sequencing the human genome. Among those who discuss the project are initial
rivals Francis Collins and J. Craig Venter; Dr. John Sulston; Sir Alec
Jeffreys, the discoverer of DNA fingerprinting; Nobel Laureates Fred Sanger
and Jim Watson; and former President Bill Clinton. (57 minutes) The DVD
version has on-demand English subtitles and can be viewed using a DVD player
or computer DVD-ROM drive.
