The sequencing of the human genome is being hailed as history's most important scientific discovery. This unprecedented project attempts to map our complete DNA sequence -- the key to human history and identity, and to an extraordinary future of scientific and medical progress. This book is an abundantly illustrated account for general readership and includes a basic introduction to the biology and techniques and culminates in the full text of the historic genome sequence research paper. Cracking the genome... Cracking the Genome: Inside the Race to Unlock Human DNA In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the double helix structure of DNA. The discovery was a profound, Nobel Prize-winning moment in the history of genetics, but it did not decipher the messages on the twisted, ladderlike strands within our cells. No one knew what the human genome sequence actually was. No one had cracked the code of life. Now, at the beginning of a new millennium, that code has been cracked and Kevin Davies tells the story. A fascinating look behind the scenes of modern scientific research.
