La edición genética ha irrumpido con fuerza tanto en los laboratorios como en la sociedad. En particular desde que aparecieron las herramientas CRISPR, descubiertas en bacterias por un microbiólogo español, Francis Mojica, de la Universidad de Alicante, hace más de 25 años. Con ellas se han propuesto multitud de aplicaciones en biología, en salud y en biotecnología, algunas de las cuales plantean dilemas éticos, como su uso en embriones humanos....

Part one is narrated by God, who in the voice of a somewhat snarky Brit, with occasional comments about the foibles and failings of the story's main characters, Eugene is a tale of Nigel Wellbourne, who engages in scientific inquiry to find and affect the genetic precursors of behavior and intellect, and in turn social order. The story begins in early twentieth century Britain, with Nigel who, having failed early in his ministry career, marries and...

Summary of The Gene by Siddhartha Mukherjee | Includes Analysis Preview: The Gene by Siddhartha Mukherjee describes the history of genetic research, the impact of genetic inheritance on his family, and the potential for future applications of gene science. Mukherjee's father and uncles struggled with disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, both of which are linked to genetic mutations. After centuries of conjecture about the nature of...

Donovan Webster brings his vivid journalistic gifts to a new subject, tracing our deep genealogy using cutting-edge DNA research to map our eons-old journey from prehistoric Africa into the modern world. With the same genetic haplotype as many white American males, Webster makes an ideal subject-he is a genuine Everyman. While his voice and spirit are unique to him, in exploring his own ancestry, he shows us our own. Drawing on National Geographic's...

You swab your cheek or spit in a vial, then send it away to a lab somewhere. Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or, the report could reveal a long-buried family secret that upends your entire sense of identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession, a relentless drive to find answers to questions at the core of your being, like "Who am I?" and "Where did I come from?" Welcome...

"Something sits in a bunker lab buried fifty feet below the grounds of Lakehurst Naval Air Station. The product of technology confiscated from the Germans after WWII occupies a chamber of steel-reinforced ballistic glass. Despite experimentation for nearly three-quarters of a century, no one knows what it is, but illegal human research reveals what it can do. Humans with special abilities--abilities that can only have come from whatever occupies the...
