What If? A world without code -- DNA

James Watson and Francis Crick, the co-discoverers of the DNA double helix, changed the world forever when they unveiled their now familiar molecular model 50 years ago. Utilizing the data from previous biological research, Watson and Crick conceived a beautiful structure that explained how living things grow. Renowned geneticists and researchers discuss the significance of the double helix and pay tribute to its inventors, as well as ponder where we might be without this fundamental research.
