We use DNA routinely - to cure diseases, solve crimes, and reunite families. Yet we've known about it for only 60 years. And what we're continuing to learn about it every day has the potential to transform our health, our nutrition, our society, and our future. But what, exactly is DNA, the self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms?

What is the most important biological process that occurs on Earth? You might immediately think of respiration: all organisms have to respire in order to release energy. But all complex organisms require oxygen to respire and where does the oxygen come from? After all, as far as we know we are the only planet in the solar system with elemental oxygen in our atmosphere. The answer is that all the oxygen on Earth is made by the process of photosynthesis; performed by plants and blue-green algae. Life would not exist on this planet as we know it; without photosynthesis. In addition, all the ...

As a tutor of Biology of about 20 years experience I quite often came across students who were struggling with the basics. Most often the subject of the basic biological molecules; proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, was causing them some confusion. Admittedly, for biology students who don't study chemistry, this subject can be a challenge. So what I have done in this book is give a summary of the most important points about these molecule groups in the easily understandable format, of a series of questions and answers. I have also included a chapter of key words, that I explain, before the...

The discovery of the structure of DNA, in 1953, by Watson and Crick, was arguably the most important discovery in biology of that century; and certainly one of the most important discoveries in science, ever. Around sixty years later; we have already cracked the human genome (we know the nature of all codes within the DNA in human beings) and can sequence DNA and copy DNA very quickly. Our knowledge of the evolutionary relationships between living things has been greatly improved by knowing the similarities and differences of their genes. Here are a few astonishing facts about DNA that have...

Epigenetics can potentially revolutionize our understanding of the structure and behavior of biological life on Earth. It explains why mapping an organism's genetic code is not enough to determine how it develops or acts and shows how nurture combines with nature to engineer biological diversity. Surveying the 20-year history of the field while also highlighting its latest findings and innovations, this volume provides a readily understandable introduction to the foundations of epigenetics.
