This animation starts with a whole human and zooms in through the organs and tissues to the cells and finally the DNA. You can see how all these different levels of organisation fit together, and the relative scale of each level.
This animation travels through the the first five topics of our Introduction to genomics section. It shows the relative sizes of cells, chromosomes and DNA, as well as exploring genes and the genome.
You can find out more about each of these topics on by exploring the Introduction to genomics section.
The video also shows organelles inside a cell You can download the worksheets to play our game Cell Snap to get familiar with these different parts that make up your cells.
