| Summary: | Readers will get a sneak peek into the Human Genome Project, the international scientific research project with the goal of determining the sequence of nucleotide base pairs that make up human DNA. From this, scientists identified and mapped all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and a functional standpoint, and opened a Pandora's box of secrets: the hidden workings of the human genome, how gene switching, junk DNA and genetic mutation might be affecting our everyday lives and why patents are soaring for genetic inventions. |
