dna

Explores the history of scientific discovery in the area of DNA research.

Covers the essentials concepts of genetics and DNA structure. Focuses on the function of DNA, modern techniques for analyzing entire genomes, lab safety, bacterial culture methods, and recombinant DNA. Offers twelve well-tested laboratory experiments in molecular biology as well as techniques of gene isolation.

After a heart attack changes his life, Dr. Richard Steele is recruited into a movement to examine the hazards of genetically modified foods, and his controversial findings threaten the future of science.

Biblical scholar Zecharia Sitchin offers his theory on the creation of man, asserting humans were made by the Anunnaki who had come to Earth from their planet, Nibiru.

A biography of one of the four scientists responsible for the discovery of the molecular structure of DNA, the key to heredity in all living things.

Presents detailed information about DNA and heredity in a question and answer format and includes color photos and illustrations, a glossary, and an index.

Explains how genes determine traits such as eye color and height and how traits are passed from parents to children, discussing chromosomes, DNA, dominant and recessive traits, meiosis, and mutations, and includes an experiment on the DNA of peas.

Argues that DNA's secrets must be rescued from the obscuring language of science and should be seen as a great work of natural literature.
