DNA serves as the basic instruction manual for life. In this installment, we look at the way in which DNA is structured, replicated, and how it is packaged into such a small area. This will provide the basic understanding of how genes are structured in an easy to understand way.

A panoramic overview of biotechnologies that can endlessly boost human capabilities and the drastic changes these "superhuman" traits could trigger. Biotechnology is moving fast. In the coming decades, advanced pharmaceuticals, bioelectronics, and genetic interventions will be used not only to heal the sick but to boost human physical and mental performance to unprecedented levels.

Orphan is about the struggle to save the lives of children who, because of an unlucky roll of the genetic dice, are born with any one of several thousand rare genetic disorders. Many are burdened with diseases that carry mysterious names, some of which you will hear about for the first time in this audiobook, along with compelling stories about the physicians, scientists, and parents who have taken them on.

Phase III of DNA Consultants' Cherokee DNA Studies adds more than 50 new participants to what has become a classic project. They'd all been told there was no way they could be Indian given their DNA haplotype or mother's direct line.

Welcome to The DNA Guide for Adoptees: How to use genealogy and genetics to uncover your roots, connect with your biological family, and better understand your medical history. If you are an adoptee, there’s likely missing information about your past and you hope to change that. You’ve come to the right place! This book is for you if you have hope that DNA testing might open up the search for information about yourself, your origins, and your future. We’ve worked hard to compile the resources in this book and explain in plain English how DNA and genealogical records fit together like ...

The science of epigenetics has been scientifically proven to give anyone the power to change the expressions of their genes. Genes can be altered by either the external environmental or internal mental and emotional signals without altering the gene sequence itself. The protocols in this book take a person through the step-by-step process of doing it. By using the detailed processes given, anyone can send new signals to their genes to produce and manufacture the different proteins to restore health, gain new strength, and extend life expectancy.

Science Concepts Explained for Non-Scientists: Clear Guides to How the World Works Genetics Explained for Non-Scientists: How DNA, Genes, and Inheritance Shape Life is a clear, accessible guide to one of the most influential sciences of the modern age. Written specifically for general readers with no scientific background, this book breaks down complex genetic concepts into plain language explanations that focus on understanding rather than memorization. From the discovery of genes to the structure of DNA, the book reveals how genetic information is stored, copied, and expressed in living ...

From the former editor of Slate and CEO of Atlas Obscura comes the unbelievable story of “the Nobel Prize sperm bank” and the children it produced—“a superb book about the quest for genius and, ultimately, family” (Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point and Talking to Strangers)...

In a world where science has ceased to be a mere tool and has become a power capable of redefining life itself, a question arises—one that cuts across every laboratory, every ethical debate, and every human decision: what can we, and what should we, do with the power to rewrite our own genetic code? THE FORBIDDEN CODE: Power and limits in redesigning Life invites us to journey through the fascinating and perilous landscapes of contemporary biotechnology, exploring how humanity now confronts its most intimate ambition, the possibility of creating, modifying, and enhancing human life. This ...

In 2018, the first genetically modified babies were reportedly born in China, made possible by the invention of CRISPR technology in 2012. This controversial advancement overturned the preexisting moral consensus, which had held for over 50 years before: While gene editing an adult person was morally acceptable, modifying babies, and thus subsequent generations, crossed a significant moral line. John H. Evans here provides a meta-level guide to how these debates move forward and their significance to society.

From the bestselling author of The End of Nature comes a passionate plea to limit the technologies that could change the very definition of who we are We are on the verge of crossing the line from born to made, from created to built. Sometime in the next few years, a scientist will reprogram a...

With all the advances in science in the last century, why are there still so many infectious diseases? Why haven’t we found cures for difficult cancers? Why hasn’t any major progress been made in the treatment of mental illness? And how do we intend to stop, and not only that but reverse, global warming and the climate crisis? In Saved by Science, scientist Mark Poznansky examines the many crises facing humanity while encouraging us with the promise of an emerging solution: synthetic biology.

¿De dónde venimos? ¿Quiénes somos? ¿Adónde vamos? A estas preguntas atemporales responde el reconocido genetista Lluís Quintana-Murci, mostrando cómo el incremento del conocimiento obtenido en las pasadas décadas por la genética de poblaciones ha transformado nuestro conocimiento de la especie.

In The Invisible History of the Human Race, Christine Kenneally draws on cutting-edge research to reveal how both historical artifacts and DNA tell us where we come from and where we may be going. While some books explore our genetic inheritance and some popular television shows celebrate ancestry, this is the first book to explore how everything from DNA to emotions to names and the stories that form our lives are all part of our human legacy.

The historical Jesus of Nazareth is arguably the most influential person ever to walk on the face of the planet Earth. For the past 2,000 years, thousands of books have been written about him, and yet no book has been written about the mechanism by which the eternally existing God—the Christ—became Jesus, the man in the flesh. This book precisely explains this mystery by looking through the prism of the scientific discipline of genetics.

Genetic engineering, which refers to the direct manipulation of DNA, became a reality in the 1970s. In this audiobook, we take a look at how far the field has come, starting with a revolutionary gene-editing tool called CRISPR that’s taking the research world by storm. We then examine how CRISPR and other approaches are being investigated to treat disease, the fantastic-sounding research being done in synthetic biology, controversial efforts in modifying crops and saving species, as well as the numerous ethical issues raised in these areas.
