Overview
Carried within almost every one of our hundreds of trillions of cells is a complete set of instructions for making a human being. These instructions are in the form of a chemical code carried by your DNA.
Here you can find out how the structure of DNA carries this chemical code, what genes and genomes are and how differences in the DNA sequence can change the way our bodies grow and function.

Genomes - the basicsTake a general tour
through your DNA, genes and genomes. Find out how the instructions to
build your body are encoded in your DNA and how changes in these
instructions can affect you.

Genomes - in detail Delve into a more
detailed coverage of DNA, genes and genomes. Explore the experiments
that revealed the structure of DNA, the processes that decode its
information, and how mutations large and small can affect us.
