In this episode from our centenary series exploring 100 ideas in genetics, we’re looking at mergers and acquisitions – but in a biological rather than a financial sense. We find out what happens when two cells decide to move in together, unpack the history of genetic engineering and bleat on about the story of Dolly the Sheep.
