Summary:
Why did it take more than a century of research before scientists
properly understood what DNA was and what it did within the cell? A
Century of DNA aims to answer this question, tracing the history of
DNA research across interrelated subjects, including embryology,
biophysics, organic chemistry, histology, physiological chemistry,
and genetics. The chapters follow a chronological sequence in the
development of ideas on DNA, and incorporate biographical material on
researchers involved in these discoveries. Comprehensible to the
general scientific reader and to the specialist, this book is a
unique look at the foundations of molecular biology.
