They sought to document the course of research which elucidated the chemical structure and biological function of DNA from its discovery in 1869 to the analysis of the genetic code in the early 1960s. Also contains manuscripts of some of the chapters. The longest interviews are with: Aaron Bendich, Erwin Chargaff, Melvin Cohn, Sven Furberg, Rollin Hotchkiss, Robert William Holley, Robert Stuart Tipson, Lord Alexander Roberts Todd, and Maurice Wilkins.
