Summary, etc. The human genome is the complete set of genes present in 23 pairs of chromosomes. It is nothing but the very basis of our existence and the autobiography of our species! Spelled out in three-letter words using the four letters of DNA, the human genome has been altered, abridged and has been passed down through generations. The first draft of the human genome was mapped and released in 2000, which provided us great insights into what it means to be alive and to be human. Selecting one newly discovered gene from each of the 23 pairs of chromosomes and revealing its story, the author chronicles the evolution of our species from the origin of life to the brink of future medicine. Ridley writes about the various applications and possibilities of gene therapy to the horrors of eugenics. He analyzes the scientific, philosophical and social implications of mapping the genome. Intriguing and truly enthralling, Genome will help you understand the importance of this scientific milestone.
