به ژنوم خوش آمدید

by Rob DeSalle

"Welcome to the Genome takes you right into the thick of today's most cutting-edge science and its far-reaching implications. Authors Rob DeSalle and Michael Yudell have written a book which clearly explains the ongoing saga of our attempts to understand the mystery of biology's Rosetta Stone and use its code to better our lives." This book employs an understandable style and full-color illustrations to provide insights into the complex science involved. It delves into the past discoveries that led to the sequencing of the human genome; it presents the challenges facing today's scientists and society and culture in general; and it considers the future possibilities of the developing genome era. Social issues, particularly questions of ethics, receive special attention, covering an important area too often overshadowed by science and technology.

خب، باید اعتراف کنم که یه‌جاهایی رو قشنگ نفهمیدم! :)) خیلی تخصّصی بود. ینی من مدیون همون یه‌ریزه دانش زیست‌شناسی راهنمایی و اوّل دبیرستانمم. وگرنه غیر ازون، یه‌جاهایی رو خیلی با دقّت می‌خوندم. ولی چون آشنایی‌ای نداشتم، نمی‌فهمیدم. :دی ولی در کل، به‌نظرم اومد که خیلی کتاب کاملیه. منتها کاش مراعات ما مسلمونا هم می‌کرد که الکل دم ِ دست نداریم تا دی‌اِن‌اِی ـمون رو رصد کنیم. :))
