In June 2000 two fiercely competitive teams of scientists made the joint announcement that their labs had secured one of the greatest prizes in history: the decoding of the human genome. NOVA tells the story of the genome triumph and its profound implications for the future of medicine. Hosted by Robert Krulwich, ABC Nightline correspondent. [A Nova Production]

Andrew Medina-Marino of Caltech's Biology Division will introduce the film and guide the post-screening discussion.
