The Gene: An Intimate History by Siddhartha Mukherjee
5.0
'... genes were no longer just the subjects of study, but the instruments of study.
... recombination DNA had made the language of genetics recursive.'
Interesting take from The Gene; in short thinking in genes from the realm of science ➡️ realm of technology.
The Gene is a spectacular book about human genetics that fascinates me when the author explores cancers, mental illness, schizophrenia, AIDS, & autism & analyzes whether it is either genetic or sporadic.
My concern about family genetics on cancer is answered (kinda) through the extensive scientific history by Mukherjee.
There are 'controversial' takes on preliminary trials using mice and monkeys (experiment) to continue the gene technology which I love.
