Who Wrote the Book of Life A History of the Genetic Code

"You'd be hard-pressed to find a more entertaining cast of characters than the 'code-cracking' scientists who populate [this book]. Everybody who's anybody in the global effort to turn helices into text makes at least a cameo appearance in this dense but engaging cultural history of genomics....Anyone excited by the prospect of editing, revising, and rewriting the genomes of living creatures will find the issues raised in this book becoming more relevant over time."Kay, Lily E. is the author of 'Who Wrote the Book of Life A History of the Genetic Code', published 2000 under ISBN 9780804734172 and ISBN 0804734178.
