Unraveling DNA: The Most Important Molecule of Life, Revised and Updated Edition

With elegant simplicity, Maxim D. Frank-Kamenetskii elucidates the essential history and inner workings of DNA--a tiny molecule that holds within it the deepest mysteries of life. As Frank-Kamenetskii explains, DNA will undoubtedly shape our future, too, as we call upon it to convict criminals, clone creatures, and ultimately, cure cancer. This definitive guide to DNA, a previous version of which sold over 300,000 copies in the author's native Russia, promises to both inform and inspire.
