DNA and the human genome

9 Mar 2015

Brian Sutton talks about the path to understanding life, molecular biology and synthetic biology in part 5 of our Grand Tour of Science.

The Grand Tour of Science is a comprehensive account of modern science in seven two-hour lectures for the public. The lectures are in two parts, with drinks and discussion before, in between and after.

This lecture covers:

• What is life?

• The beginnings of molecular biology

• Crystals, symmetry and X-ray crystallography
