What does DNA do, exactly?

OVERVIEW

How do genes work?

In this episode, we see how DNA's structure informs its role as a storage molecule for genetic information. We review the major experiments and discoveries that informed our present understanding of basic molecular biology. We also explore the many roles of proteins in the cell and how DNA utilizes a special genetic code to relay the instructions for protein synthesis.
