DNA contains a genetic instruction manual for creating life. From eye color, to height, to the probability of getting certain diseases, it’s the reason hereditary traits are passed down through generations. Consider it the ultimate method of biological information storage.
In this episode of Perspectives, four experts explain what DNA is, how we discovered it, and how it makes you, you.
