Some chromosomes ' puff' when they undergo intense genetic activity, and this model is based on the latest research into the microscopic world of the gene. The model was filmed under construction and after completion, and Professor John Maynard Smith of the University of Sussex and Dr. John Curdon of the University of Oxford discuss the implications of the sort of genetic research which the model exemplifies.
