Alice Roberts uses the latest research to uncover the evolutionary history hidden in all of us, from the secrets found only in our embryos and genes - including why as embryos we have what look like gills - to those visible in your anatomy. This is a tale of discovery, exploring why and how we have developed as we have. This is your story, told as never before.

"Guerras CRISPR: Cómo la Edición Genética Revolucionará la Guerra" es una obra de no ficción que explora el asombroso y aterrador potencial de la tecnología CRISPR en el campo de batalla. A través de un análisis detallado, el libro examina cómo la manipulación genética puede dar lugar a soldados mejorados, capaces de hazañas físicas y cognitivas que antes eran imposibles. Además de los avances científicos, se abordan los dilemas éticos, el impacto estratégico en los conflictos militares y las consecuencias globales.

Este libro explora la manipulación genética como la frontera más prometedora de la medicina moderna. Ofrece una visión completa y detallada sobre el impacto de las terapias génicas, la edición genética con CRISPR y la clonación en la transformación de los tratamientos médicos. Esta obra es esencial para profesionales de la salud, investigadores y lectores interesados en entender cómo estas tecnologías están revolucionando la manera en que tratamos las enfermedades genéticas, hereditarias y degenerativas.

In an age of groundbreaking scientific discovery, RNA Vaccines: A New Frontier in Science takes listeners on an illuminating journey through one of the most transformative innovations in modern medicine. From the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic to the promise of personalized therapies, RNA vaccines have reshaped our understanding of immunology, biotechnology, and global health.

Well-meaning physicians, parents, and even scientists today often spread misinformation about what biology can and can't tell us about our bodies, minds, and identities. In this accessible, myth-busting book, geneticist Shoumita Dasgupta draws on the latest science to correct common misconceptions about how much of our social identities are actually based in genetics.

Being human entails an astonishingly complex interplay of biology and culture, and while there are important differences between women and men, there is a lot more variation and overlap than we may realize. Sex Is a Spectrum offers a bold new paradigm for understanding the biology of sex, drawing on the latest science to explain why the binary view of the sexes is fundamentally flawed.

Parents and parents-to-be are bombarded with information, from what to expect to what to do (and not to do) when it happens. But what they may not realize is that from the chemistry of pregnancy tests to the vacuum physics of breastfeeding, there is fascinating science at the heart of every aspect of creating and raising a new human.

En este nuevo libro, Jorge Dotto, médico patólogo y genetista, autor también de Genética. Cómo puede cambiar nuestras vidas, nos explica de modo ameno y entretenido, de qué manera los genes participan en nuestras situaciones de placer, al tiempo que subraya la importancia de los factores ambientales y la propia voluntad de las personas para lograr un mejor vínculo con las distintas formas de recompensarse.

Immer mehr Einzelheiten werden darüber bekannt, wie epigenetische Prozesse die Aktivität von Genen steuern. Bisher wurde vor allem diskutiert, welchen Einfluss die Umwelt so auf unser Erbgut nehmen kann - mit Langzeitfolgen über Generationen hinweg. Doch inzwischen diskutieren Forschende, inwieweit sich diese Erkenntnisse auch gezielt medizinisch nutzen lassen.

The historical Jesus of Nazareth is arguably the most influential person ever to walk on the face of the planet Earth. For the past 2,000 years, thousands of books have been written about him, and yet no book has been written about the mechanism by which the eternally existing God—the Christ—became Jesus, the man in the flesh. This book precisely explains this mystery by looking through the prism of the scientific discipline of genetics.

When attorney Chris Hansen learned that the U.S. government was issuing patents for human genes to biotech companies, his first thought was, How can a corporation own what makes us who we are? Then he discovered that women were being charged exorbitant fees to test for hereditary breast and ovarian cancers, tests they desperately needed—all because Myriad Genetics had patented the famous BRCA genes. So he sued them.

A new gene editing technology, invented just seven years ago, has turned humanity into gods. Enabling us to manipulate the genes in virtually any organism with exquisite precision, CRISPR has given scientists a degree of control that was undreamt of even in science fiction. But CRISPR is just the latest, giant leap in a long journey to master genetics. The Genetic Age shows the astonishing, world-changing potential of the new genetics and the possible threats it poses, sifting between fantasy and the reality when it comes to both benefits and dangers.

In 2018, scientists manipulated the DNA of human babies for the first time. As biologist and historian Matthew Cobb shows in As Gods, this achievement was one many scientists have feared from the start of the genetic age. Four times in the last fifty years, geneticists, frightened by their own technology, have called a temporary halt to their experiments. They ought to be frightened.

No hay ningún plan de alimentación funcional para todo el mundo: lo que a unos les sienta bien, a otros puede hacerles daño. ¿Cómo se explica? Por el código genético, que es absolutamente único en cada persona.

A tiny mutation on the X chromosome can shape a family’s history. Passed down from a “carrier” parent to a child, fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and autism. Beyond that—and a rarity among genetic disorders—some fragile X carriers not only transmit the mutation, but also experience related conditions themselves.

Die CRISPR-Methode und die Zukunft der Medizin. Was macht die Natur, wenn ein neuer Feind auftaucht? Sie findet eine neue Strategie. Wenn eine Bakterie von einem Virus attackiert wird, verteidigt sie sich beispielsweise, indem sie ihre genetische Struktur ändert. Doch wie können diese Mechanismen nachgewiesen werden? Und welchen Nutzen hat dieses Wissen für die Medizin? Der Amerikanerin Jennifer Doudna und der Französin Emmanuelle Charpentier sind bahnbrechende Erkenntnisse im Bereich der Biochemie gelungen.

In November 1987, a young couple on an overnight trip to Seattle vanished without a trace. A week later, the bodies of Tanya Van Cuylenborg and her boyfriend Jay Cook were found in rural Washington. It was a brutal crime, and it was the perfect crime: With few clues and no witnesses, an international manhunt turned up empty, and the sensational case that shocked the Pacific Northwest gradually slipped from the headlines.

An almost limitless archive of our history lies hidden inside our bodies, and this book traces the ancient story of Scotland from that scientific viewpoint. The mushrooming of genetic studies, of DNA analysis, is rewriting history in spectacular fashion. In Scotland: A Genetic Journey, Alistair Moffat explores the history that is printed on our genes, and in a remarkable new approach, uncovers the detail of where Scots are from, where they have journeyed, and who they are - and in so doing, vividly colors in a DNA map of Scotland.

The field of biotechnology has evolved over the past four decades, developing medicines which are curing diseases. But this journey of success has been tough and arduous, built upon the shoulders of major failures.

Une extraordinaire histoire collective dont nous sommes tous les héritiers ! Les gènes sont une fascinante machine à remonter le temps depuis que nous savons faire "parler" non seulement l'ADN des Sapiens actuels, mais aussi celui de nos lointains ancêtres. Évelyne Heyer, biologiste française, professeure en génétique des populations, dévoile un récit de l'aventure humaine dans un style clair et accessible.
