Beschreibungen
About heredity and human heritage in the broadest sense. It's not just about the sequence of nucleotides in nuclear DNA. What parents pass on to their children is influenced by a whole host of factors: mitochondrial DNA, and epigenetic marks that change gene activity, and symbiotic microorganisms... Both culture and traditions, geography and economy, technology and the state in which we will leave the planet, finally . As science advances, there are more and more ways to intervene in different forms of heredity, which opens up amazing possibilities, but at the same time poses new problems. The CRISPR-Cas9 technology used for genome editing, gene drives, and the creation of eggs and sperm from skin cells – the list of discoveries is growing every day, giving enough cause for optimism... or concern. Either way, the world will never be the same again. Carl Zimmer is famous for his ability to communicate clearly. In this landmark book, which is based on the latest research and scientific breakthroughs, the author has once again proven himself to be one of the best science journalists in the world.
