It was The Double Helix, James Watson's account of how he and Francis Crick had discovered the structure of DNA, the spiral-staircase molecule that carries the genetic instruction code for all forms of life. This book guided Jennifer Doudna to focus her studies not on DNA, but on what seemed to take a backseat in biochemistry: figuring out the structure of RNA, a closely related molecule that enables the genetic instructions coded in DNA to express themselves. Doudna became an expert in determining the shapes and structures of these RNA molecules--an expertise that led her to develop a revolutionary new technique that could edit human genes. Today gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR are already being used to eliminate simple genetic defects that cause disorders such as Tay-Sachs and sickle cell anemia. For now, however, Jennifer and her team are being deployed against our most immediate threat--the coronavirus--and you have just been given a front row seat to that war."--Amazon.com 521 $a Ages 8-12 $b Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. 521 $a Grades 4-6 $b Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. 505 0 $a The origins of life -- The CRISPR -- Gene editing -- CRISPR in action -- CRISPR babies -- The moral questions -- CRISPR and COVID-19. 600 10 $a Doudna, Jennifer A. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a CRISPR (Genetics) $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Gene editing $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Genetics $x Research $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Biochemists $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Nobel Prize winners $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women scientists $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Gene editing $x Moral and ethical aspects $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Biotechnology $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Young adult literature. 650 0 $a Biography 650 0 $a Biographies. 650 0 $a Juvenile works. 700 1 $a Durand, Sarah, $e adaptor. $e adaptor. 730 02 $i Adaptation of (work): $a Code breaker 776 08 $i Online version: $a Isaacson, Walter. $t Code breaker young reader's edition. $d NEW YORK : Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2022 $z 9781665910682 $w (DLC) 2021042298 941 $a 1 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230503013440.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB9C3B46E97711ED8437380758ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
