From genes to human being, how does it work?

It’s all in your genes… But how is the information in your DNA turned into who you are? Find out how we try to understand the workings of the molecular machines, which convert the information stored in your genes into the way you look and behave.

All the DNA in our body would stretch to the sun and back 70 times if unravelled. Find out how we squeeze it into our cells, while still making sure that our genes can be read and switched on when they are needed, and how this goes wrong in disease.
