This episode we chat about: DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule that contains the genetic instructions for an organism. It is found in the nucleus of cells and is made up of four different types of nucleotides: adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.

The history of DNA research can be traced back to the 19th century, when scientists began to study the role of chromosomes in heredity. In the 1950s, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the double helix structure of DNA, which provided a physical model for how genetic information is stored and transmitted.

In the 1980s, scientists began to develop new techniques for sequencing DNA, which allowed them to read the genetic code of organisms. This led to a revolution in biology, as scientists were able to identify genes, study genetic variation, and develop new medical treatments.

Today, DNA sequencing is used in a wide variety of applications, including medical diagnosis, forensic science, and evolutionary biology. It is also being used to develop new technologies, such as gene therapy and personalized medicine.

DNA in the 1980s

In the 1980s, scientists made significant progress in understanding the structure and function of DNA. Some of the key discoveries from this period include:

• The development of new techniques for sequencing DNA

• The identification of the first genes

• The discovery of genetic variation

• The development of new medical treatments based on DNA research

These discoveries laid the foundation for the modern era of genetics and genomics.
