DNA--生命的秘密。出深入浅,由表及里的介绍了一切生命体遗传物质基础DNA发现的历史,基因工程研究的现状,以及对生命科学飞速发展可能带来的一系列后果的思考与探讨。尤其值得一提的是,我们可以惊讶的看到,二十世纪最伟大的科学家之一,现代分子生物学的奠基者,DNA双螺旋结构的发现者之一,二十世纪三大工程之一“人类基因组计划”(另外两个是曼哈顿计划和阿波罗计划)的发起人Jim Watson一直反世俗而行,提倡将基因改造用于现代优生学:父母们可以通过选择孩子的DNA而得到更健康,更聪明,更英俊/漂亮的孩子!一切所有热爱生命科学的人,或者仅仅是出于好奇,都必须一看。
What makes DNA different from hordes of competitors purporting to help readers understand genetics is that it is written by none other than James Watson, of Watson and Crick fame. He and his co-author Andrew Berry have produced a clear and easygoing history of genetics, from Mendel through genome sequencing. Watson offers readers a sense of immediacy, a behind-the scenes familiarity with some of the most exciting developments in modern science. He gleefully reports on the research juggernaut that led to current obsessions with genetic engineering and cloning. Aided by profuse illustrations and photos, Watson offers an enthusiastic account of how scientists figured out how DNA codes for the creation of proteins--the so-called central dogma of genetics. But as patents and corporations enter the picture, Watson reveals his concern about the incursions of business into the hallowed halls of science.
After 1975, DNA was no longer solely the concern of academics trying to understand the molecular underpinnings of life. The molecule moved beyond the cloisters of white-coated scientists into a very different world populated largely by men in silk ties and sharp suits.
In later chapters, Watson aims barbs at those who are concerned by genetic tinkering, calling them alarmists who don t understand how the experiments work. It is in these arguments that Watson may lose favor with those whose notions of science were born after Silent Spring. Nevertheless, DNA encompasses both sides of the political issues involved in genetics, and Watson is an enthusiastic proponent of debate on the subject. The book accompanies a 5-part PBS series
