Genome
This accessible popular science book takes readers on a tour of the human genome, focusing each chapter on a newly discovered gene on the human body`s 23 chromosomes, and discusses the implications of the controversial Human Genome Project`s early findings. This examination also surveys the history and future of genetic research, while stressing that interrelationships between genes are far more complex than recent trends linking specific genes to diseases may suggest.
