Revisiting Albino Redwoods, Cracking the Code | QUEST

Stanford geneticists are exploring the root of the mutation behind albino redwoods. In this video from QUEST produced by KQED, learn how complicated redwood genomes may be used to crack the code. See how they take samples back to their lab and put them through the genetic wringer to sequence and compare complicated redwood genomes.
