This is the history and inner workings of DNA, a tiny molecule that holds within it the deepest mysteries of life. The author predicts that DNA will shape our future, as we call upon it to convict criminals, clone creatures, and ultimately, cure cancer.
With elegant simplicity, Maxim D. Frank-Kamenetskii elucidates the essential history and inner workings of DNA-a tiny molecule that holds within it the deepest mysteries of life. As Frank-Kamenetskii explains, DNA will undoubtedly shape our future, too, as we call upon it to convict criminals, clone creatures, and ultimately, cure cancer. This definitive guide to DNA, a previous version of which sold over 300,000 copies in the author's native Russia, promises to both inform and inspire.
