Everyone has heard of DNA. But by itself, DNA is just an inert blueprint for life. It is the ribosome - an enormous molecular machine made up of a million atoms - that makes DNA come to life, turning our genetic code into proteins and therefore into us. Gene Machine is an insider account of the race for the structure of the ribosome, a fundamental discovery that both advances our knowledge of all life and could lead to the development of better antibiotics against life-threatening diseases.

We’re constantly seeking answers to these fundamental human questions, and now, science has the answers. The foods we enjoy, the people we love, the emotions we feel, and the beliefs we hold can all be traced back to our DNA, germs, and environment. This witty, colloquial book is popular science at its best, describing in everyday language how genetics, epigenetics, microbiology, and psychology work together to influence our personality and actions.

Enticingly read by the author, Philip Ball. 'An essential primer on humanity’s ongoing quest to understand the secrets of life . . . Excellent . . . Ball is a terrific writer.' – Adam Rutherford, The Guardian A cutting-edge new vision of biology that proposes to revise our concept of what...

Imagine a future where we grow houses rather than build them. Where smartphones are living, clothing has opinions, and all human knowledge fits into a speck of DNA. A world where disease is a thing of the past, and the human lifespan is dramatically extended. To achieve this, says Adrian Woolfson – founder of the genome writing company Genyro – we must transform biology into a predictive, programmable engineering material. That means decoding the generative grammar of DNA: the language of life itself. We will then be able to author genomes – and, if we choose, even rewrite our own.

Humans are primates, much like chimps—or so we've been continually told. Yet recent discoveries show that our species has a different brain design, function, and chemistry; different eating, sleeping, mating, and rearing patterns; a different metabolism; and a different physiology than apes. Nor is our behavior much like theirs, and we don't even have the feet made for climbing trees that define the primate order. Could it be that conceiving of ourselves as primates isn't helping us understand what it is to be human?

Le origini della nostra specie (Homo sapiens) sono, allo stato dell'arte, argomento di discussione di due scuole di pensiero dominanti e contrapposte: evoluzionismo da una parte e tradizione religiosa creazionista dall'altra.

Go back even a quarter of a century and few people would have heard of DNA, except perhaps in a forensic case. Now genetics plays a part of our everyday culture and our interest in genetics is booming, particularly in the form of direct-to-consumer genetic testing for health, family history and ancestry testing. So how did we get to the point where our understanding, and misunderstanding of genetics became so commonplace?

We tend to think of Darwinian evolution as a process that plays out over generations. But our understanding of natural selection is itself evolving. Science writer Roxanne Khamsi reveals our bodies as active landscapes of evolution. Genetic mutations are constantly happening within your body—even as you read this. In this astonishing book, Khamsi shows how our bodies comprise cells that change over the course of a lifetime, mutating, competing, and evolving.

In Original Sin, Kathryn Paige Harden weaves together insights from her own experience as a daughter, mother, wife, and scientist with cutting-edge research in genetics and psychology to grapple with some of the most important questions in modern life: How do we take responsibility for the people we become, knowing how we are shaped by both biology and experience? How should we respond when people hurt each other—or themselves? And has science made guilt obsolete?

Binary is the ultimate guide for understanding and dismantling the sex spectrum, the new cultural belief that sex exists on a continuum and that male and female are social constructs. By analyzing its 10 most popular arguments, Zachary A. Elliott reveals how the tenets of the sex spectrum deny evolution, development, and genetics. Using the primary biology literature, the book provides the listener with a comprehensive scientific understanding of how the two sexes are universal phenomena and how complex genetic networks consistently result in a simple yet profound outcome: male or female.

Dépression, syndrome d'anniversaire, empêchement, angoisse... Et si ces difficultés faisaient partie d'un héritage familial inconscient ? Sans le savoir, sans le vouloir, nous recevons de nos ancêtres la mémoire d'événements cachés survenus avant notre naissance. Ces traumatismes invisibles, non-dits, secrets de famille, peuvent produire leurs effets néfastes sur plusieurs générations. Ce livre vous aidera à les identifier, pour rompre avec le destin répétitif de votre histoire familiale, vous apaiser et reconquérir votre liberté. Un des grands classiques de la transgénéalogie.

With two out of every 100 newborns in the United States now being test-tube babies, it raises a thought-provoking question: have we, in some way, always been "test-tube babies" from the beginning? From the helpless cries of an infant to the dominance of Earth's most powerful, humanity has embarked on an extraordinary journey—an epic odyssey across time and space. Our ascent on this Blue Planet is not merely a story of survival but a profound evolution and genesis, both real and symbolic. It's a rise that is as rapid as it is awe-inspiring.

In this vibrant guidebook, sound healer and former corporate scientist Ruslana Remennikova reveals how, through vibration and intention, you can shapeshift DNA from the standard double helix to its 12-stranded, dodecahedral form—thereby unlocking your spiritual potential and opening the way for deep healing of the past, the present, and the future of your deeper self.

Before the Pilgrims landed at Cape Cod, what was happening in North America? Who was there? What civilizations rose and fell? For years, the answers to these questions have been shrouded in mystery. At the time of European contact, a diverse world of Native peoples thrived across the continent. What was their backstory? Who were the ancestors of the Sioux? Where did the Navajo come from? What about the Apache, the Comanche, the Cherokee?

First there was the genetic revolution—the discovery that physical structures in the cell, including DNA and RNA, shape every organism. Now, says evolutionary biologist Richard Sternberg, we are overdue for another and more profound revolution. Recent findings reveal that genetic and even epigenetic sources alone cannot account for the rich dynamism of life—not even close. Some other informational source is required.

Eating disorders are one of the most common but elusive conditions to treat in all of Psychiatry. While current treatments do help some patients with eating disorders, many individuals receive little to no benefit from treatment options, leading to a lifelong struggle with anxiety around eating and body image.

We are on the cusp of a major transformation in healthcare—yet few people know it. At top hospitals and a few innovative health-tech startups, scientists are working closely with patients to dramatically extend their "healthspan"—the number of healthy years before disease sets in. In The Age of Scientific Wellness, two visionary leaders of this revolution in health take us on a thrilling journey to this new frontier of medicine.

Nuestro código genético, el ADN, es la información más íntima y profunda que heredamos de nuestros padres y antepasados. Es, además, casi igual entre los seres humanos. Podríamos decir que solo una porción minúscula es responsable de que podamos ver tantas diferencias a simple vista: color de ojos, de piel, de pelo, de altura. Pero ese mínimo porcentaje es también el que nos puede brindar datos esenciales para saber qué alimentos consumir para mejorar nuestra calidad de vida y prolongarla.

A completely new way to look at fat loss, autoimmune conditions, and optimal health. What if that banana you had for breakfast was actually sabotaging your health efforts? Health, metabolism, and weight are controlled by both our genetics and our lifestyle, in essence a balance between nature and nurture. By identifying our strengths and our weaknesses genetically, as well as our body chemistry through advanced targeted testing, we now have the ability to influence our health like never before.

¿De dónde venimos? ¿Quiénes somos? ¿Adónde vamos? A estas preguntas atemporales responde el reconocido genetista Lluís Quintana-Murci, mostrando cómo el incremento del conocimiento obtenido en las pasadas décadas por la genética de poblaciones ha transformado nuestro conocimiento de la especie.
