[Hplusroadmap] DNA replication visualization

[Mackenzie Cowell]

The molecular visualization video of dna replicating was made by Drew Berry
for the DNAi project.  The youtube version doesn't really do him credit.  It
also ruins the great diegetic sounds the video had.

Anyway, molecularmovies.com has a lot of Drew Berry's work (with his
blessings) as well as almost one hundred other short 3d animations.  Check
it out.
