At the beginning of this century enormous progress
had been made in genetics. The Human Genome Project
finished sequencing human DNA. It seemed it was only a
matter of time until we had all the answers to the
secrets of life on this planet. The cutting-edge of
biology, however, is telling us that we still don't even
know all of the questions. How is it that, despite each
cell in your body carrying exactly the same DNA, you
don't have teeth growing out of your eyeballs or
toenails on your liver? How is it that identical twins
share exactly the same DNA and yet can exhibit dramatic
differences in the way that they live and grow? It turns
out that cells read the genetic code in DNA more like a
script to be interpreted than a mould that replicates
the same result each time. This is epigenetics and it's
the fastest-moving field in biology today. The
Epigenetics Revolution traces the thrilling path this
discipline has taken over the last twenty
years.Biologist Nessa Carey deftly explains such diverse
phenomena as how queen bees and ants control their
colonies, why tortoiseshell cats are always female, why
some plants need a period of cold before they can
flower, why we age, develop disease and become addicted
to drugs, and much more. Most excitingly, Carey reveals
the amazing possibilities for humankind that epigenetics
offers for us all - and in the surprisingly near
future. |
