Product Description
Humans have been selectively breeding and manipulating food crops for ages, but the ability to alter the genes of an organism in the laboratory was only first realized in 1953. That year, at Cambridge University in England, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, the basic building block of life. This discovery galvanized the scientific community, which saw in DNA the potential for revolutionary advances in biology and medicine.
