genes

Examines the biology behind genetics and genetic disorders and considers the principles of genetic manipulation and genetic engineering that have impacted the fields of science, medicine, industry, and agriculture.

Explores the foundations of human biology: structure, genetics, and diseases.

Introduces the science behind stem cells, including how and why the technology was created, current examples of the technology in action, and cutting-edge research advancing the technology.

Explores how and why gene editing was developed, how the technology works today, and how the technology will be advanced in the future.

"This book explains genetic theory, what genes are, why DNA plays an important role and what all these insights have to do with a curious monk. An exciting journey through the history of science, present-day genetic research and engineering and right through to the question of identity--because who would have thought how much of our personality is defined by our genes and how interesting genes can be?"--Provided by publisher.

"From the discovery of the double helix to mapping the human genome, this exploration of scientific inquiry celebrates the greatest developments to date in genetics. Get to know the physicians, scientists, and other researchers responsible for these breakthroughs in medicine, and explore the ups, the downs, and the eureka moments that are science in action"--Provided by publisher.

Looks at the world of genetics, focusing on six-toed cats, stickleback hips, zombie genes, and other topics.

In rhyming text, illustrates through the concept of DNA how we are all part of the human race.

Microbes are everywhere! They live on and under the ground. They live in all kinds of water on Earth, even around the hottest deep-sea vents. They even live on and inside your body! Since the advent of powerful microscopes, scientists have been studying our world's smallest denizens. Many people get scared just hearing the words "bacteria," "fungus," and "virus" because of the diseases they cause. However, scientists have discovered many beneficial microbes that actually help support all life on Earth. Geneticists have sequenced the genomes of numerous microbes, extending our knowledge of the organisms and how they affect our lives.

Text and illustrations explains cells, DNA, and genetics for young readers.
