Thank You. ROBERT KRULWICH: To begin, let's go back four and some billion. That speck did something that has gone. It wrote a message. It was a chemical message. The message has passed from the very first organism.

It's more elaborate now, of course, but that message, very simply, is the. And here is that message contained in this stunning little. DNA. You've seen it in this form, the. DNA, I wondered, "What does it look like when it's raw, you know.

So I asked an expert. ERIC LANDER: DNA has a reputation for being such a mystical. It's actually goop. So this here's DNA. ROBERT KRULWICH: Professor Eric Lander is a geneticist at. MIT's Whitehead Institute.

ERIC LANDER: It's very, very long strands of molecules, these double. DNA, which, when you get them all together, just look like little. ROBERT KRULWICH: And these strands were literally pulled from. ERIC LANDER: Whoever contributed this DNA, you can tell from this.

Alzheimer's disease, you can. And there's. probably about 2. And it's really incredibly unlikely that you can. But that's DNA for you. That apparently is the secret. ROBERT KRULWICH: And already DNA has told us things that no. It turns out that human beings have only twice as.

Now how can that be? We are such complex and. DNA also. tells us that we are more closely related to worms and to yeast than most of us.

But how do you read what's inside a molecule? Well, if it's DNA, if you. Each step is made up of two chemicals. They come always in pairs, called. C and G, or T and A for short.

This is, step by step, a. ROBERT KRULWICH: We're all familiar with this thing, this. Watch Call Girl Wives Mediafire. ERIC LANDER: .. double helix..

ROBERT KRULWICH: .. First of all, I'm. DNA molecule. Is this, by the way, what it. ERIC LANDER: Well, give or take. I mean, a cartoon version, yeah. ROBERT KRULWICH: Cartoon version?

ERIC LANDER: A little like that or so, yeah. ROBERT KRULWICH: So there are.. ERIC LANDER: Oh yes, stuck in the nucleus of your cell. ROBERT KRULWICH: Now how small is this, if in a real DNA. ERIC LANDER: Oh golly..

ROBERT KRULWICH: Look at this. He's asking for. help. ERIC LANDER: This distance is about from..

ROBERT KRULWICH: That's one billionth of a meter when it's. ERIC LANDER: Well no, it's curled up some like that but you see it's. You can't curl it up too much because these little negatively.

I'm going to break. ROBERT KRULWICH: No, don't break my molecule.. ERIC LANDER: You got this. And then it's folded up like this. And then. those are folded up on top of each other. And so, in fact, if you were to.

DNA it would run, oh, I don't know, thousands and. ROBERT KRULWICH: But the main thing about this is the. If I knew it was A and T and C and C and G. G and A.. ERIC LANDER: No, no.
