Krátky popis
The language of genes has become common parlance. We know they make
your eyes blue, your hair curly or your nose straight. The media
tells us that our genes control the risk of cancer, heart disease,
alcoholism or Alzheimer's. The cost of DNA sequencing has plummeted
from billions of pounds to a few hundred, and gene-based advances
in medicine hold huge promise. So we've all heard of genes, but how
do they actually work? There are 2.2 metres of DNA inside every one
of your cells, encoding roughly 20,000 genes. These are the
'recipes' that tell our cells how to make the building blocks of
life, along with myriad control switches ensuring they're turned on
and off at the right time and in the right place. But rather than a
static string of genetic code, this is a dynamic, writhing
biological library. Figuring out how it all works - how your genes
build your body - is a major challenge for researchers around the
world. And what they're discovering is that far from genes being a
fixed, deterministic blueprint, things are much more random and
wobbly than anyone expected. Drawing on stories ranging from six
toed cats and stickleback hips to Mickey Mouse mice and zombie
genes - told by researchers working at the cutting edge of genetics
- Kat Arney explores the mysteries in our genomes with clarity,
flair and wit, creating a companion reader to the book of life
itself.
