Matthew Cobb is Professor of Zoology at the University of Manchester. As well as studying the sense of smell in maggots, he also works on the history of science and is currently writing a book about the history of our ideas about brain and behaviour.
Much of modern biology was shaped by a single sentence written by Watson and Crick in their second Nature paper of 1953 (not the one that described the double helix structure of DNA): 'the precise sequence of the bases is the code that carries the genetical information'. Nothing quite like that had ever been stated before, and yet this view was instantly adopted by scientists all over the world, becoming part of one of the key assumptions about how life works.
This talk explores the surprising origins of these ideas and looks at how scientists used them to make one of the decisive breakthroughs of 20th-century science – cracking the genetic code.
