Krátky popis
Walter Isaacson's #1 New York Times bestselling history of our
third scientific revolution: CRISPR, gene editing, and the quest to
understand the code of life itself, is now adapted for young
readers!When Jennifer Doudna was a sixth grader in Hilo, Hawaii,
she came home from school one afternoon and found a book on her
bed. It was The Double Helix, James Watson's account of how he and
Francis Crick had discovered the structure of DNA, the
spiral-staircase molecule that carries the genetic instruction code
for all forms of life. This book guided Jennifer Doudna to focus
her studies not on DNA, but on what seemed to take a backseat in
biochemistry: figuring out the structure of RNA, a closely related
molecule that enables the genetic instructions coded in DNA to
express themselves. Doudna became an expert in determining the
shapes and structures of these RNA molecules-an expertise that led
her to develop a revolutionary new technique that could edit human
genes. Today gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR are already
being used to eliminate simple genetic defects that cause disorders
such as Tay-Sachs and sickle cell anemia. For now, however,
Jennifer and her team are being deployed against our most immediate
threat-the coronavirus-and you have just been given a front row
seat to that race.
