Nice light reading

[さやか むらさと · Rating 4 out of 5]

On page 244 (2nd edition) they mention that plasmids are part of cell's genome while word on the street is they are not. The rest is about 1377 pages of the good stuff.

Another word on the street is, before you tackle this monster, you better grind your chemistry and biology gears.

This may very well be a great book. After being forced to read it in a couple of days, I honestly can't tell anymore.
