NOVA: Cracking the Code of Life DVD

well done

This program does a great job of integrating the structure of DNA, genetics and genetic disorders in an interesting way. I teach in a rural school where it can be difficult to motivate my students to learn. It took little effort to make them watch this, they were enthralled!

Very interesting and educative product. Planing on buying more related product.

This video is a great resource as an overview of basic genetics. It is designed for multiple levels of understanding--everyone can take something out of it.

Having been in the Medical profession for a long time, I am familiar with DNA etc. Recently took part in the global National Geographic DNA project myself. Found out to be classified as a Western European. Wishing to share this with my Grandchildren and explain the process. This film will help me with this. Scratching the surface to perk their interest in Science and all that it can tell us. Thanks for the great program.

Robert Krulwich asks questions most people would ask about the Human Geneome project and he and Erick Lander make learning fun.
