		Brenner’s early research was in molecular genetics, working with bacterophages and bacteria; he discovered messenger RNA which transmits information from DNA to proteins, (with Jacob and Meselson) and, with Francis Crick, showed that the code was composed of triplets.
		Sydney Brenner worked at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, and its successor, the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, from 1956 to 1987, when he became Director of the MRC Unit of Molecular Genetics retiring in 1992 from the MRC.

		From the time Sydney Brenner traveled to Cambridge, England in 1953 to visit James Watson and Francis Crick to see their new model of DNA, Brenner wanted to know how that molecule was transformed into an organism.
		Together with Francis Crick, Brenner proposed that the basic language of RNA was a triplet code: three nucleotides of RNA are read together as one unit and then translated into a single amino acid that becomes part of the final protein.
		Brenner transformed the worm, Caenorhabditis elegans, which is easy to grow in the laboratory but undergoes a complex transformation from egg to multicellular organism, into a powerful system for studying development.
