Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Hall reconstructs the early days of the genetic engineering revolution. In the 1970s, the new recombinant DNA technology made conceivable the actual synthesis, from scratch, of a human gene. Three hotly competitive research groups at either end of the continent embarked on the project. One was directed by future Nobel laureate Walter Gilbert of Harvard. A second, at the University of California at San Francisco, was under William Rutter and Howard Goodman. A third at the City of Hope Research Center in Duarte, Calif., soon came under the corporate umbrella of a new biotechnology firm, Genentech, formed by another UCSF lab chief, Herb Boyer. Slightly slanted, small closed tear to the dust-jacket top of the spine. Prior owner name on ffep. First edition. 6¾" - 9¼". book. Seller Inventory # 277043
