Overview

This book addresses the flood of new DNA-related information that has flowed from the recent revolution in biotechnology: information that is transforming the food we eat; the way medicine is practised, and even changing the ways in which crimes are solved. To be informed on all these topics of the moment requires an understanding of the basic principles of DNA biology. DNA and Your Body is written for a general audience, using non-technical language.
