内容説明
Genetics research is one of the most fast-changing and provocative subjects in science today. This volume presents a collection of journalism on genetics from "The New York Times". Nicholas Wade, Natalie Angier, Gina Kolata, and other "Times" writers seek to serve as translators and interpreters of the developments from laboratories, and to convert perplexing breakthroughs into a journey to new frontiers. There are over 40 articles arranged into chapters which cover: "Genetics as History" - with articles on how the study of genes has helped decode the events of long ago; "Discovering Human Genes" - featuring the discovery of the gene that triggers Huntington's disease; "The New Science of Genomics" - reporting on the race among labs around the world to be the first to decode the human genome; "The Architecture of DNA" - including coverage of the achievement of cloning - first of Dolly the sheep, then mice; "Building an Organism" - revealing how embryos become the creatures they are destined to be; and "Genes and Disease" - which observes the cutting-edge research on the roles that genes play in cancer and its treatment.
