DNA Files on National Public Radio
The DNA Files: Unraveling the Mysteries of Genetics is a series of nine
1-hour nationally syndicated documentaries distributed in 1998 by National Public
Radio (http://www.dnafiles.org).
Hosted by NBC Dateline reporter John Hockenberry and supported in part
by the DOE Human Genome Program, the series explores both the science and the
social, ethical, and legal implications of genetic developments. The voices of
prominent researchers, people affected by advances in the clinical application
of genetic medicine, members of the biotechnology industry, and others from related
fields provide real-life examples of the impact of genetic discoveries. In addition
to public radio audiences, the series targets educators, scientists, and involved
professionals.
The programs include such topics as DNA and behavior; prenatal genetic testing;
predictive genetic tests; gene therapy; law and the genetics of identity; genetics
and biotechnology; genetics of human evolution; plants, animals, and transgenics;
and the Human Genome Project. The series is available to local public radio
stations, which should be contacted for broadcast schedules. The DNA Files
Web site was expanded to feature program information, audio excerpts, resources,
and interactive scenarios (www.dnafiles.org).
