This film explores the evolutionary connection between an infectious disease, malaria, and a genetic condition, sickle cell disease.

This video presents an intriguing phenomenon: two patients who carry the same genetic variation, which is known to cause sickle cell disease, have very different outcomes.

This film describes the scientific principles and the research efforts involved in the development of a gene therapy for a congenital form of blindness, and how a young patient benefited from this medical breakthrough.

This film describes natural selection and adaptation in populations of rock pocket mice living in the American Southwest.

This animation shows how a mutation that allows adult humans to digest milk can be lost or spread under different circumstances.

This animation shows how varying concentrations of a signaling molecule activate different transcription factors to determine cell fate.

This animation shows how stem cells from early mammalian embryos can be grown and studied in a laboratory.
