From the author of Seed of Israel: DNA Guide to Tracing Your Jewish Ancestry comes this great dive into the history of Ashkenazi Jews. While controversial debates spark disagreements on the crystallization of this Jewish Diaspora, modern genetic studies and personal DNA samples finally conclude the Levantine Middle Eastern and Mediterranean roots of Ashkenazi ancestry: Judean people from the Holy Land that journeyed across the Mediterranean to the bottleneck of Europe.

The science of epigenetics has been scientifically proven to give anyone the power to change the expressions of their genes. Genes can be altered by either the external environmental or internal mental and emotional signals without altering the gene sequence itself. The protocols in this book take a person through the step-by-step process of doing it. By using the detailed processes given, anyone can send new signals to their genes to produce and manufacture the different proteins to restore health, gain new strength, and extend life expectancy.

What happens when your family tells you one thing, but a DNA test tells you another? Georgina Lawton grew up in a loving family but she didn’t look like anyone else. She has dark eyes, curly hair and brown skin. Both her parents were white. Georgina took a DNA test. The results changed her life forever. With millions around the world using 'do-it-yourself' DNA testing kits, Georgina follows the stories of those learning to live with the results.

Walter Isaacson vertelt het verhaal van DNA-expert en Nobelprijswinnaar Jennifer Doudna. In oktober 2020 ontving biochemicus Jennifer Doudna samen met haar collega Emmanuelle Charpentier de Nobelprijs voor de Scheikunde voor hun doorslaggevende bijdrage aan de ontwikkeling van CRISPR-Cas. Met deze techniek kunnen wetenschappers het menselijk genoom bewerken door te knippen en plakken in DNA-sequenties.

DEL AUTOR DEL BESTSELLER "LA VIDA EN CUATRO LETRAS". "El sueño del tiempo" surge de la constatación de que, aunque la física y la filosofía nos enseñan que el flujo del tiempo puede ser solo una fantasía creada por nuestra mente, el tiempo biológico vive en nosotros y nosotros vivimos en el tiempo del mundo.

Un estudio que cambia las reglas del juego. Es un hecho que las mujeres viven más que los hombres, tienen un sistema inmunitario más fuerte, son mejores para combatir el cáncer y otras enfermedades y sobrevivir en caso de hambruna; incluso ven el mundo en una variedad más amplia de colores. Son simplemente más fuertes que los hombres en todas las etapas de la vida. ¿Por qué? ¿Y por qué nos enseñan lo contrario?

Wissenschaftlichen Schätzungen zufolge leidet jeder Mensch unter mindestens 2.000 Gendefekten. Sie lassen unser Immunsystem schlechter funktionieren, führen zu Arthrose und Osteoporose, können Diabetes und Sehschwäche verursachen, und sie machen dick. Aber Gene sind kein Schicksal mehr. Der Molekularbiologe Dr. Daniel Wallerstorfer zeigt, wie wir mit der richtigen Vorsorge, guter Ernährung und dem geeigneten Lebensstil unsere Erbanlagen steuern und unsere Gesundheit kontrollieren können.

I nostri geni non sono scolpiti nella pietra e i nostri fattori ereditari non sono un' "impronta digitale" fissa e immodificabile. Un essere umano infatti è molto più della somma dei suoi geni. Tutto quello che mangiamo, facciamo e sentiamo, tutto ciò che ci accade può influire sull'attività del DNA, a prescindere dalla configurazione genetica con la quale nasciamo. L'epigenetica, cioè la branca della genetica che si occupa di indagare le variazioni dell'espressione del nostro DNA, ci porta infatti una buona notizia: tali variazioni sono reversibili.

In the aftermath of an asteroid impact, Earth’s power grid is damaged nearly beyond recovery. The survival of our world may well depend on energy sources collected from an abandoned undersea settlement beneath the icy surface of Enceladus. Earth-raised Colonel Carter Rhodes, in charge of Earth’s recovery efforts, calls upon Gwen Baré, a Venusian engineer, to regain control of the deserted moon outpost and collect fuel for Earth’s collapsing power grids.

Are humans close to living forever? With advances in medicine and new therapies that prolong life expectancy, we are on track to make aging even more manageable. This new entry in the exciting Alice in Futureland series explores both the science and cultural impulse behind extending lifespans, and the numerous ways the quest for eternity forces us to reevaluate what it means to be human. Some experts believe that we haven’t fully realized our true human potential, and we are about to embark on an extraordinary evolutionary shift.

Cystic fibrosis was once a mysterious disease that killed infants and children. Now it could be the key to healing millions with genetic diseases of every type - from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's to diabetes and sickle cell anemia. Told from the perspectives of the patients, families, physicians, scientists, and philanthropists fighting on the front lines, Breath from Salt is a remarkable story of unlikely scientific and medical firsts, of setbacks and successes, and of people who refused to give up hope....

I’ve written a number of books on longevity and immortality. But I’ve only had some partial chapters on long-lived plants and animals. This is an important subject because all of this life is based on the same DNA code we have in our own bodies. If this life can live for hundreds or thousands of years, then this says that it is possible for humanity to live that long, also. Here I’ve researched and included lots of specimens of animal and plant life which represent the extremes of longevity for widely varying life.

In November 2018, the world was shocked to learn that two babies had been born in China with DNA edited while they were embryos - as dramatic a development in genetics as the cloning of Dolly the sheep was in 1996. In this book, Hank Greely, a leading authority on law and genetics, tells the fascinating story of this human experiment and its consequences. Greely explains what Chinese scientist He Jiankui did, how he did it, and how the public and other scientists learned about and reacted to this unprecedented genetic intervention.

At the age of 27, Whitney Dafoe was forced to give up his life as a photographer who traveled the world. Bit by bit a mysterious illness stole away the pieces of his life: First, it took the strength of his legs, then his voice, and his ability to eat. The Puzzle Solver follows several years in which he desperately sought answers. Whitney's father, Ron Davis, PhD, a world-class geneticist at Stanford University whose legendary research helped crack the code of DNA, suddenly changed the course of his career in a race against time to cure his son's debilitating condition.

Since the discovery of DNA, scientists have believed that genes are fixed entities that cannot be changed by environment - we inherit them, pass them on to our children and take them with us when we die. Professor Tim Spector reveals how the latest genetic research and his own pioneering studies on epigenetics are rewriting everything we thought we knew about genes, identity and evolution.

The Secret Body is a gripping drama of discovery and a landmark account of the dawning revolution in human health that reveals a hitherto invisible universe within each of us.

In The Genome Odyssey, Dr. Euan Ashley, Stanford professor of medicine and genetics, brings the breakthroughs of precision medicine to vivid life through the real diagnostic journeys of his patients and the tireless efforts of his fellow doctors and scientists as they hunt to prevent, predict, and beat disease.

Vital research is starting to challenge long-standing assumptions about gender identity and biological sex, such as work that indicates the brain is a “mosaic” of traits rather than a “male” and “female” brain. Growing knowledge of the genetic complexities of sexual determination is changing the way the medical community treats intersex individuals, and in this audiobook, The New Science of Sex and Gender, we not only examine the latest studies in biology, medicine, and psychology but also, more importantly, their bearing on healthcare, identity, and access.

Genetic engineering, which refers to the direct manipulation of DNA, became a reality in the 1970s. In this audiobook, we take a look at how far the field has come, starting with a revolutionary gene-editing tool called CRISPR that’s taking the research world by storm. We then examine how CRISPR and other approaches are being investigated to treat disease, the fantastic-sounding research being done in synthetic biology, controversial efforts in modifying crops and saving species, as well as the numerous ethical issues raised in these areas.

One of the biggest discoveries in physics, the quest for the Higgs boson demonstrates the value of a good theory. In July 2012, a Higgs-like particle was found near the energies scientists predicted. Now, armed with better evidence and better questions, the scientific process continues. In this audiobook, we’ve gathered our best reporting to explain that process - the theories, the search, the discovery, and the ongoing questions.
