Since 2010 it has been possible to determine a person's genetic makeup in a matter of days at an accessible cost for many millions of people. Along with this technological breakthrough there has emerged a movement to use this information to help prospective parents "eliminate preventable genetic disease." As the prospect of systematically excluding the appearance of unwanted mutations in our children comes within reach, David B. Goldstein examines the possible consequences from these types of choices.

In GATTACA Has Fallen: how population genetics failed the populace, Dr. Ian Myles explains that the root of all of these issues is the belief that genetics meaningfully guide our fate. Using less controversial examples like eczema and allergic diseases, the book demonstrates how claiming there are genes for asthma is similar to claiming there are genes for intellect or favorite flavor of tea.

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.

This book is more than an overview of race. While it includes haplographic studies and ancestry tracing, there is still a lot that is unknown about who we are as a HUMAN race. The story begins with the first people who lived with dinosaurs and the massive mutations occurring 5 thousand and 10 thousand years ago. Why these happened are important when tracing our ancestry. This study does not cover the near term expansion and massive mixing of races. What it does is look for beginnings and endings. Both suggest mutation, separation, migration, and adaptation in a world that is just a changing...

"The Human Cell Nucleus: Structure, Function, Dysfunction, and Nuclear Medicine" is an in-depth exploration of the nucleus, a small but critically important organelle at the heart of every human cell. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the structure and function of the nucleus, covering topics such as chromosome organization, gene expression and regulation, and nuclear envelope dynamics. It also delves into the ways in which abnormalities in the nucleus can contribute to a range of human diseases, including cancer and genetic disorders. In addition to its fundamental role in ...

Hay una raza especial de personas que no siente el paso del tiempo como el resto de los mortales, que envejece lentamente y con gracia, que como mucho necesita ir al médico una o dos veces en toda su larguísima vida. Una raza a la que las enfermedades llamadas de la edad (Parkinson, Alzheimer, cáncer, degenerativas…) no afectan. Un grupito de personas repartidas por todo el mundo que no tienen necesidad de preocuparse por el colesterol, ni por la tensión alta, ni por los ataques al corazón, ni siquiera por las arrugas. Son gente a las que la vida trata con gracia y les permite vivir ...

The emergence of genomic science in the last quarter century has revolutionized medicine, the justice system, and our understanding of who we are. We use genomics to determine guilt and exonerate the falsely convicted; devise new medicines; test embryos; and discover our ethnic and national roots. One might think that, given these advances, most would favor the availability of genomic tools. Yet as Jennifer Hochschild explains in Genomic Politics, the uses of genomic science are both politically charged and hotly contested.

Human beings have astonishing genetic vulnerabilities. More than half of us will die from complex diseases that trace directly to those vulnerabilities, and the modern world we've created places us at unprecedented risk from them. In It Takes a Genome, Greg Gibson posits a revolutionary new hypothesis: Our genome is out of equilibrium, both with itself and its environment. Simply put, our genes aren't coping well with modern culture.

This is a practical, science-based guide to understanding COVID-19 and adapting to post-pandemic living. As COVID-19 transitions from a global health crisis to a managed infectious disease, this book provides essential information on the virus, vaccines, immunity building, and evidence-based prevention strategies that remain relevant today. COVID-19 is widely managed through vaccines, booster programs, and improved treatments. While no longer the urgent threat it once was, the disease continues to circulate globally, making informed health practices important - especially for vulnerable ...

Binary is the ultimate guide for understanding and dismantling the sex spectrum, the new cultural belief that sex exists on a continuum and that male and female are social constructs. By analyzing its 10 most popular arguments, Zachary A. Elliott reveals how the tenets of the sex spectrum deny evolution, development, and genetics. Using the primary biology literature, the book provides the listener with a comprehensive scientific understanding of how the two sexes are universal phenomena and how complex genetic networks consistently result in a simple yet profound outcome: male or female.

The long-awaited story of the science, the business, the politics, the intrigue behind the scenes of the most ferocious competition in the history of modern science—the race to map the human genome. On May 10, 1998, biologist Craig Venter, director of the Institute for Genomic Research...

Learn how to build muscle and get in shape with these 15-minute workouts you can do at home. While a gym membership can be a great investment in one's own body and health, many of us simply have neither the time nor the experience for lengthy and complicated workouts. Fortunately this doesn't mean you can't get fit in your own four walls. All you need is your own body and the motivation to follow a simple but effective 15-minute workout routine a few times per week.

Eggs are the origins of ninety percent of the Earth's organisms. They can be found as far apart as deep-sea volcanoes and in space. Yet despite their fundamental importance, eggs often find themselves an afterthought in the discussion of evolution of life on Earth as the interests of scientists congregate around the things that emerge from eggs rather than the eggs themselves.

If you could bring back one living being from the whole of the history of time, what would you choose? Comedian and former stem-cell biologist Helen Pilcher has thought about this problem - a lot. In Bring Back the King, Helen explains the cutting-edge science that makes the resurrection of extinct animals a very real possibility and highlights her choices from eras gone by, from the king of the dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus rex, to the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley.
