THE GENE EXPLAINED
FOR THOSE WITHOUT MICROSCOPES

Everybody is talking about genes. Your body is filled with them. You look the way you do because of them. But do you really know what a gene is? This animated series won’t get you a PhD, but it does clear up a few mysteries about how genes work, how they make us, if we can change them and what they might look like in the future. (Microscope not required.)

Season 2 of The Gene Explained (For Those Without Microscopes) is now streaming! New episodes explore terrifying genetic transformations, viral invasions, unexpected genetic relatives, the resurrection of extinct animals, and more!
