Genetic science affects us every day: our health, our food, our families. The DNA Files explains how.
Hosted by John Hockenberry and guided by a outstanding panel of advisors, the documentaries and features explore not only the science of genetics, but its ethical, social, and legal implications.
The programs tackle complex topics in a style that is evocative, creative and accessible. Scientists, government officials and corporate spokespeople offer their points of view ? as do individuals who have direct personal experience with the world of genetic research.

* George Foster Peabody Award

* American Association for the Advancement of Science Journalism Award
* Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Award
