About the Book: The Secret Life Of Genes: Decoding The Blueprint Of Life
An illustrated introduction to genetics. The Secret Life of Genes is the story
of genetic science and how it makes each of us unique. It spans the discovery of
the gene and the all-encompassing role it plays in biology: from controlling the
inner workings of cells and the development of embryos, through patterns of
inheritance, to the evolution of new forms of life. From there developed the
vast and boundless field of genetic science and research. Readers will get a
sneak peek into the Human Genome Project, the international scientific research
project
