Reviews

""Regarding the main differences between this edition and similar ones, they are: a) it is the first comprehensive study concerning single-stranded RNA-phages; b) it contains a rather extensive and, most importantly, contextual historical essay regarding the formation and development of molecular biology, which summarizes the position and role of RNA-phages in the evolution of scientific thought about life; c) it systematically demonstrates on a broad scientific and practical basis how products obtained from RNA phages have contributed to progress in nanotechnology; d) it provides a generalized report on the generative value of products obtained from RNA-phages in evolutionary and ecological studies. In addition, the epigraphs and quotations used by the author at the beginning of each chapter of the book, which go beyond the classical approaches to this type of publication, can be of professional interest"".
