Take a deep dive into what you’re made of, as Dr Kat Arney tells the unexpected story of five more pieces of human DNA: the fat gene, the Huntington's gene, the warrior gene, the HIV gene and the eyeball gene. People have never been so well informed about their DNA, with tens of millions of home genetic testing kits sold. But behind each of your 20,000 genes is a fascinating story - one that’s being added to every day, as genetics remains on the cutting edge of innovation. Combining history, archive, anthropology, comedy - and of course, lots of lovely science - we finally give these crucial substances the attention they deserve. Presenter: Kat Arney Producer: Beth Sagar-Fenton
