Drawing the map of life - inside the human genome project
This book explores the intellectual roots of the Human Genome Project, the motivations that drove it, and the hype that often masked genuine triumphs. It tells the story of the famous race between the public and private efforts, and today's ever more promising research to exploit the molecule of heredity and achieve truly personalised medicine, profiling key people and showing how new technology dramatically changes the questions scientists can ask.
