Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick unveiled the double helix structure of DNA. The discovery was a profound moment in the history of science, but solving the structure of the genetic material did not reveal what the human genome sequence actually was, or what it says about who we are. Cracking the code of life would take another half a century. In 2001, two rival teams of scientists shared the acclaim for sequencing the human genome. Kevin Davies, founding editor of "Nature Genetics", has relentlessly followed the story as it unfolded week by week since the dawn of the Human Genome Project in 1990. Here, in rich human and scientific detail, is the story of one of the greatest scientific feats ever accomplished: the sequencing of the human genome. Davies captures the drama of this momentous achievement, drawing on his own genetics expertise and on interviews with the key scientists. He details the fraught rivalry between the public consortium, chaperoned by Francis Collins and Celera Genomics, directed by sequencer J.Craig Venter, and in this updated edition, Davies sheds light on the secrets of the sequence, highlighting the myriad ways in which genomics will impact human health for the generations to come. Cracking the Genome is the definitive, balanced account of how the code that holds the answer to the origin of life, the evolution of humanity, and the future of medicine was finally broken.
