"The science of genetics came of age with the elucidation of DNA's double
helical structure by Watson and Crick in 1953 but its intellectual roots lie in
the 19th century with the work of Gregor Mendel, a friar in the Augustinian
Abbey of St Thomas in Brno. The lecture series, "The Road to and from
DNA, a celebration of 50 years of the double helix", is timed
for the 2003 celebrations of the discovery of the structure of DNA. We believe
that the road to the double helix started in the Abbey in Brno and that this is
therefore an appropriate place to hold these lectures."
