With humor, depth, and philosophical and historical insight, this book features a graphic portrayal of a complicated science. This volume covers DNA's many marvels, from its original discovery in 1869 to early twentieth-century debates on the mechanisms of inheritance and the de…
Applying an intuitive question-based approach that connects a breadth of topics in physics which apply both cosmic and nano-sized perspectives, this book tackles contemporary topics such as the structure of both the universe and the atom and the mathematical laws that apply to t…
"Just over a decade after the completion of the Human Genome Project, our journey to an understanding of our genome has, it seems, only just begun. Mapping the genes was merely the start. They turned out to make up only 2% of the genome. Why so few? And what is the rest doing? I…
As the Human Genome Project completed its mapping of the entire human genome, hopes ran high that we would rapidly be able to use our knowledge of human genes to tackle many inherited diseases, and understand what makes us unique among animals. But things didn't turn out that wa…

Over a decade ago, as the Human Genome Project completed its mapping of the entire human genome, hopes ran high that we would rapidly be able to use our knowledge of human genes to tackle many inherited diseases, and understand what makes us unique among animals. But things didn…
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of nucleotide and protein phylogenetic analysis--[P. 4 of cover].
It is unlikely that the established genomes of present day organisms remain stable forever. It is conceivable that foreign DNA can gain entry into individual cells of an organism. Foreign DNA is defined as genetic material that derives from another organism of the same or a diff…
