Nessa Carey is a visiting professor at Imperial College in London and currently works in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, where she has specialized in epigenetics for nearly a decade. She has strong relationships with leading epigenetics researchers, medical labs in Europe, and with some of the most prestigious institutions in the United States, including the Harvard Medical School, the MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the Wistar Institute.
Just over a decade since Matt Ridley's seminal Genome, Nessa Carey presents a hugely compelling explanation of the very latest from the frontline of modern biology. How is it that, despite each cell in your body carrying exactly the same DNA, you don't have teeth growing out of your eyeballs or toenails on your liver? How can one blueprint lead to so many different results? It turns out that cells read the genetic code in DNA more like a script to be interpreted than a mould that replicates the same result each time. This is epigenetics and it's the fastest-moving field in modern biology. The Epigenetics Revolution traces the thrilling path this discipline has taken over the last twenty years. Biologist Nessa Carey deftly explains such diverse phenomena as how queen bees and ants control their colonies, why tortoiseshell cats are always female, why some plants need a period of cold before they can flower, why we age, develop disease and become addicted to drugs, and much more. She concludes by investigating the amazing possibilities for the improvement of humankind that epigenetics offers for the surprisingly near future

一、總結: 1. 二、 遺傳學與錶觀遺傳學: 1.對 DNA 作用的比喻 2.錶觀遺傳學的意義: 3.最好科學實驗的方式,是證僞,而不是證明: PS:這也許就是為什麼“可證僞性”在科學理論中之所以重要的原因吧 4.iPS (誘導全能乾細胞)的意義: 5.同卵雙胞胎之間的差彆的一部分,來自...
評分科學傢總是比較客觀的講述,不涉及道德層麵的話題顯得更有趣味,我推薦都看看。這書挺有意思。 1. 我們無法掌控的事情,能影響錶觀遺傳特徵並持續4代的環境毒素最受重視。這其中雄性是主要載體。注意啊4代4代4代,也就是二次世界大戰差不多結束那年。我個人覺得曆史沒啥好研究...
