Book Reviews of DNA: The Secret of Life
Book Review: An excellent primer on DNA and biotechnology
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book that takes the reader on an odyssey of the various fields of biotechnology. Needless to say, you need to know what DNA is and how it unfolds its mysteries. The discovery of DNA helix led inevitably to diverse field of biotechnology. DNA affects our life not only through the chromosome but also in myriad ways - useful drugs, genetic finger-printing, agriculture, food, nutrition, disease control, pharmaceuticals and what not. Even where our ancestor was is also traced by DNA. The DNA discoverer himself (known for his witty writings) talks about all these in a lucid way for the lay science readers. I have no background in biology, still I enjoyed this book. I hope others will, as well.
