The Deeper Genome by John Parrington
Mapping the human genome proved to be just the beginning in understanding our genes, what makes us human, and how we can use the knowledge to cure inherited diseases. John Parrington describes an emerging picture of our genome, in 3D, with many non-gene players and environmental influences, that is far more complex and subtle than we ever imagined.
an excellent synthesis of what is currently understood about the human genomeIt corrects claims of omniscience and shows just how wrong informed predictions turned out to be Hamilton McMillan, Books of the Year 2015: Readers' Books of the Year 2015, The Guardian recommend ... for a stereoscopic view Peter Forbes, Christmas round-up 'The 6 best books in science', The Independent It's a game-changer and a masterpiece for anyone interested in biology. Times Higher Education, Charalambos P Kyriacou ... a good primer on the subtlety and complexity of the genome, especially the human genome, new facets of which emerge on a regular basis from labs around the world. The Scientist, Bob Grant The Deeper Genome... provides an elegant, accessible account of the profound and unexpected complexities of the human genome, and shows how many ideas developed in the 20th century are being overturned. New Scientist, Clare Ainsworth A compelling book that will enrich your knowledge of genetics and its potential. New York Journal of Books Overall, this is a faithful, engaging portrait of the twenty-first-century genome Nature, Nathaniel Comfort This is a brilliant book - a wonderfully entertaining history of molecular biology and the surprises and controversies of a field still very much in flux, from early explorations to the emerging realisation that the human genome may be far more sophisticated than we ever imagined.
