and we don't know watson and crick, they figured out the structure ofdna . that has four letters and it's like a coding machine and just like a microchip but it's a molecule. so with those four letters, there's 3 billion pairs of them in our human genome and that determines that i get gray hair at a certain point. it codes all my genetic information but the thing about it is , and in 2000 we were able to sequence the human gene. as you said, that's called thehuman genome project . everybody thought that was amazing. they put it on the cover of time magazine but the thing is that really didn't do much. all we got to do was read the genes. put a little saliva into, it can tell what jeans you have. the important thing is to being able to rewrite those genes when there's a bad problem that jennifer doudna did with this gene editing tool called crispr so the genome project laid the roadmap down and she was one of those many that you talked about in the book that found that route to actually gene editing. so in the book gets very detailed so it's comprehensive but

crick and i talked about which one should edit it, and crick because he's such a stonewall jackson guy, and he said why don't you go look in chapel hill. he wouldn't have said that if he'd known what was there, of course, i think bob deeply regrets he didn't do this but he didn't. i went down to chapel hill, spent a week, gave myself one week to see if i could figure out what this was. what had happened is that the manuscript for fighting for the confederacy had been pulled apart and the chapters filed with topical chapters from other of alexander's writings. so this 1,200 page manuscript literally disappeared into the mass of alexander's papers and people who did see pieces of it believed it was just a draft of military memoirs. i finally found the key in letters to his wife, he would send chapters home. and i found one that said i'm sending the gettysburg chapters, it's 115 pages with two maps and i went and found 115 pages with two maps and began to look for other pieces and this was literally friday afternoon when i found this letter. i was on the last half of my last day. i extend

the crick limb took years to draft and centers on four groups. >>> incredible video of a crash caught on camera. an m track passenger train slamming into a dump truck on the tracks in oakland. many are questioning what was the truck even doing there? >> oh gosh, it's going to hit it. >> the collision happened yesterday morning. sources say the dump truck was contracted by union pacific to pick up trash along train tracks but got stuck as it was driving on the road. the driver got out safely. none of the 111 passengers or crew on the train were hurt. >> really scary scene. >>> 20 minutes before 5:00. coming up on kpix5 and streaming on cbsn bay area. >> a rival for tiktok in app stores. after break find out what youtube is doing in the short video arena and how you can create a new masterpiece. >>> taking a live look outside before break, this is >>> new, legendary singer frank sinatra, his former house in los angeles was reportedly broken into last night. when police arrived, three suspects took off. one was caught. the multi million dollar house in chad worth has been home to many ce

bob redell live at the scene with a crick wrap-up. bob? >> reporter: good morning to you, marcus.ce we last spoke, you know, in the mast 30 minutes we've seen probably 10 to 12 police chp cars leaving the facility. i went up to chp and said what should we read into this? is this an indication that the scene is cleared. no, it's a large facility and they are still searching for the woman. it was during 8:00, perhaps late 7:00 hour that someone called 911 saying the woman entered the hospital half had a mile up the road from us with a shotgun. chp as you can see from skyranger and other law enforcement, they have gone in there and looked for this woman but they have not seen her. the only report they had was the initial 911 call. no reports of shots fired or no reports of anyone hurt. bob redell, nbc bay area news. >> and as the investigation goes on we'll continue to bring you those updates online. >> kari, a last look at the forecast? >> going to be really windy today and we'll still see the gusty wind through tomorrow, marcus. >> that does it for our midday newscast. we'll put an

it is about the path of our genome from watson and crick forward.e biggest surprise in writing the code breaker? walter: how important rna turns out to be. a microbiologist from way back -- everyone was looking at dna. the main character in my book jennifer and her partners realize that rna does the real work. rna takes the information it builds protein in ourselves. that is how the pfizer moderna vaccine worked and the important thing is you can recoat it. every time there is a variation, you can say i will tweak the coding, just as if you are coding a microchip. tom: what is important from the headlines and what david baltimore and others did in the revolution of rna, what is so important is the fear of science, of getting people who are afraid to be vaccinated, not because their anti-vaccine, but because they just afraid of what is in the code breaker. how do we get them to have the confidence to be vaccinated? walter: one of the things is your show and you. in a small way that is why everett in the book. i take you hand with jennifer, this wonde

some might francis crick co- discovered the structure of dna really thought about life very much from the perspective of genetic information. so, clearly. but yet it's strange because we always have a sense there is something live. starting with ourselves. think that's over get into trouble. part of the trouble through the philosophical problem maybe we are training these questions incorrectly. part of the problem is sort of a psychological one. we have intuitions about life and death. those are the products of natural selection. they are the survival traits i would argue. those are great for jeans getting passed on purpose and not necessarily going to give you a guide to whether there does need to be live. the irony is we feel live in a way that is so obvious, surely life must be obvious. as we write in the book there's a psychological disorder where people are just as convinced they are dead. and they will explain to their doctors how is they can be talking to them even though they are dead were they come up with very elaborate that make sense to them. we actually have these sort of

are all a much greater rest to come kids these days than covid and kids not being able to engage in crick -- extracurricular activities. proms, graduations for seniors. these are the events that kids should, in my opinion be able to choose to take part in and shouldn't be stopped from doing so by local, state or federal government. >> chris, i want you to know that this audience, we're praying for you. we're sorry for your loss. and we hope that your story helps someone else. thank you so much for being on the program. >> thank you. also tonight, dana, a nationally syndicated radio host. i want to get your reaction to that heartbreaking interview. >> that was a great interview, lawrence, and my prayers go out to the buckner family. i can't imagine after such an awful year and to have it compounded further by the loss of a child and everything that he said and everything that you talked about, to that point, lawrence, it's so true. i realized that a lot of adults out there, they look at these experiences, and the day-to-day interactions in the hallway, the games and the dances, as maybe no

i worked with colleagues at yale university on something that we called the basic needs informed crick sculpt that's to help individuals and organizations think and think about and do something about the biases. and people full of good intentions still grew up with this culture, with all of the unfair representations. ... it is just a really complicated. >> you mentioned earlier, the superfood stances supplemental program or snap, you admit snap benefits do make a difference facing poverty. there also built a number of assumptions that don't translate to the real worth, give us example. >> sure. there is one that's just bizarre. a family of four is allowed .64 ounces of frozen or refrigerated entrÉes a week. that's about two thirds of the single fish stick. it is bizarre. snap allotments the amount of money people get on snap or what many people call food stamps, are based on something called food plan which simply doesn't work in real life. and in addition to the civil amounts of food like the frozen entrÉe, the plan presumes people will spend almost triple the time the average family

still said there is work to be done, and even managed to take a swipe at his crick critics who are callingfor his recall. >> the top minds from our leading research institutions and life sciences immediately jumped into the development of groundbreaking treatment and vaccines. while others competed to buy personal protective equipment at exorbitant price, we quickly built our own pipeline, supplying critical gear to millions and millions of essential workers. we sent ventilators and doctors to new york as well as other states that so desperately needed them. when this pandemic ends, and it will end soon, we're not going go back to normal because i think we all agree normal was never good enough normal accepts inequity. that's why latinos are dying from covid at a higher rate than any other racial or ethnic group. while essential workers' wages aren't enough for them to afford the essentials. and mothers have been leaving the workforce in staggering numbers. so the california critics throughout that are creating power grabs without prejudices, we will not be distracted from getting shots in

steven roe saw a passage from what became fighting for the confederacy, showed it to bob crick, who showed it to me, cricket and i talked about who should edit it and quick because he is such a stonewall jackson guy and this was the second part said why, don't you go look. he would not have said that otherwise. i think bob deeply regrets that he didn't do this. i went down to chapel hill and spent a week seeing if i could figure out what this was. what had happened was the manuscript for fighting for the confederacy had been pulled apart and the chapters filed with topical chapters from other of alexander's writings. this 1200 page manuscript literally disappeared into the massive alexander's papers and the people who did see pieces of it believed it was just a draft of military memoirs. i finally found the key and letters to his wife. he would send chapters home and i found one that said i am sending the gettysburg chapters, 115 pages, with two maps. , i found 115 pages with two maps and then began to look for other pieces. this was literally friday afternoon when i found this letter. i w
