DNA Demystified

Unravelling the Double Helix

Beschreibung

Consumers are inundated with fascinating, alarming, and/or exciting information about DNA in the news and on social media. But few have enough background information on DNA and genetics to fully appreciate or critique the issues presented. DNA Demystified provides the technical foundation for non-experts to go beyond the story and enable a more complete understanding of the issues covered.
