Tajemství genů, 2. vydání
Kniha popisuje možné scénáře počátků života na Zemi – zda život vznikal na zemském povrchu, v hlubinách oceánů, či v zemské kůře. Je zmíněna i možnost mimozemského původu živých forem nebo alespoň stavebních kamenů života. Jádrem knihy je příběh evoluce genetické informace od prvních replikujících se molekul, pravděpodobně na bázi RNA, přes vznik genetického kódu, vznik molekul DNA, až po první buňky a následný vývoj bakterií, živočichů i rostlin. Organismy i jejich genetická informace směřují k vyšší složitosti. Cesta genů dospěje až ke člověku – druhu, který se ohlíží a nad svým příběhem zamýšlí. Genom člověka byl přečten a je zde doba, kdy si každý z nás může přečíst genom vlastní. Autor se ptá – co nám nové možnosti genomiky přinesou? Jsme na ně připraveni? Vždyť umíme genomy nejen číst, ale začínáme je i psát. Odhalí nám DNA, co dělá člověka člověkem?
