100 Greatest Discoveries: Genetics

Written by WTJ on February 1, 2008 – 4:32 pm -

I watched “100 Greatest Discoveries: Genetics”, which was one of the three DVDs I bought from China.

  1. Laws of inheritance.
  2. Genes are located on chromosome.
  3. Genes control biochemical events.
  4. Transposon.
  5. DNA carries genetics material.
  6. The double helix.
  7. Messenger RNA.
  8. The genetic code. (codon)
  9. Restriction enzymes.
  10. RNA alternative splicing.
  11. Minisattelite DNA.
  12. RNA interference.
  13. Human Genome.

From the documentary, I realized that there are a lot of female scientists not being recognized in their own field by the male scientists, namely Barbara McClintock.
