"A historical account of the Human Genome Project, including the events the made genome sequencing possible, the people involved, the competition between public and private sectors, and the ways in which its effects are felt today"--Provided by publisher.

Explores how plants got to be the way they are and how people can make better use of them in the future. This program joins scientists in the lab, in the field, and at the computer, as they work to unlock the secrets of some of the most important plants including corn, cotton and potatoes. Teacher's guide printed inside container.

Investigates the complete implications of the human genome project and the impact that its discoveries will have on life.

Discusses the science behind the Human Genome Project and explores how DNA research will impact human life in the future.

Explores the ongoing project to map the human genome, explaining how the discovery of DNA has led to the understanding of which human genes are responsible for specific human traits in such areas as growth, development, health, and personality.

Explores how new developments in science, technology, and economics will transform not only the world of business but also leisure time, health care, family life, and personal goals.
