About this title

Review:

"A stirring explanation of why the Human Genome Project - which mapped our DNA - matters." (Discover) "As...Victor McElheny tells it in his racy and well-documented account, practical science can be as grubbily political and ego-driven as anything that goes on in the boardroom of international conglomerates. This is a very modern story and, ultimately, curiously heart-warming." (Sunday Times) "Comprehensive. Mr. McElheny knows almost everyone involved and describes their actions and motives fairly. This is no mean feat given the sizes of some of the egos involved, and the clashes between them." (The Economist)"
