This fascinating work tells the whole story from the discovery of DNA and its structure, how it replicates, codes for proteins, and our current ability to analyze and manipulate it in genetic engineering to begin to understand the central role of DNA in evolution, cancer, and aging. While telling the scientific story of DNA, this captivating treatise is further enhanced by brief sketches of the colorful lives and personalities of the key scientists and pioneers of DNA research. Major discoveries by Meischer, Darwin, and Mendel and their impacts are discussed, including the merging of the disciplines of genetics, evolutionary biology, and nucleic acid biochemistry, giving rise to molecular genetics. After tracing development of the gene concept, critical experiments are described and a new biological paradigm, the hologenome concept of evolution, is introduced and described. The final two chapters of the work focus on DNA as it relates to cancer and gerontology. 650 0 $a DNA fingerprinting. 650 0 $a DNA $x Analysis. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802031027.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0E7F7B54621111E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
