What is 50 Genetics Ideas You Really Need to Know about?

In recent years knowledge of our genetic code has changed our understanding of life on Earth. New genetic technologies are transforming the way we live and promise treatments for otherwise incurable diseases.

In 50 Genetics Ideas, Mark Henderson distills the central ideas of genetics in a series of clear and concise essays.
