Krátky popis
Jennifer Doudna, the world-famous scientist behind CRISPR, `one of
the most monumental discoveries in biology' (New York Times),
explains its discovery, describes its power to reshape the future
of all life and warns of its use. 'Urgent, riveting and endlessly
fascinating, this book is destined to become an instant classic.
Read it if you want to understand our biological future' Siddhartha
Mukherjee'In this wonderful book ...Doudna's and Sternberg's simple
but compelling exploration of this hugely important subject offers
and excellent overview of this startling and unprecedented
discovery' Literary ReviewA handful of discoveries have changed the
course of human history. This book is about the most recent and
potentially the most powerful and dangerous of them all. It is an
invention that allows us to rewrite the genetic code that shapes
and controls all living beings with astonishing accuracy and
ease.Thanks to it, the dreams of genetic manipulation have become a
stark reality: the power to cure disease and alleviate suffering,
to create new sources of food and energy, as well as to re-design
any species, including humans, for our own ends. Jennifer Doudna is
the co-inventor of this technology - known as CRISPR - and a
scientist of worldwide renown. Writing with fellow researcher
Samuel Sternberg, here she provides the definitive account of her
discovery, explaining how this wondrous invention works and what it
is capable of.She also asks us to consider what our new-found power
means: how do we enjoy its unprecedented benefits while avoiding
its equally unprecedented dangers? The future of humankind - and of
all life on Earth - is at stake. This book is an essential guide to
the path that now lies ahead. 'A scientific thriller and a gripping
read by a brilliant scientist' Venki Ramakrishnan
