What this book knows
DNA is the readable code behind heredity, medicine, evolution, and biotechnology — and genetics is now rewriting what it means to be human.
self-and-identity
The information in each gene is usually expressed as a protein. These complex molecules have vital roles in the organism.
VLA-5A12D431-RC-004His DNA was preserved inside his bones. When analyzed, it was similar to the DNAs of Europeans currently living in the European alpine region.
VLA-5A12D431-RC-023We humans are over 99% identical in our 3.2 billion base pairs of DNA. That leaves a lot of room for variation.
VLA-5A12D431-RC-071transformation
The basic tool kit for making a complex organism is similar throughout biology. A limited number of genes makes a worm or fly or mouse or person.
VLA-5A12D431-RC-086Modern genetics is rewriting the 'book of life' as explained by Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.
VLA-5A12D431-RC-126mind-and-cognition
It took over 10 years to find the repeated sequences and another 2 years to sequence the fragments — painstaking work by thousands of scientists.
