Author Description

"Writing with clarity and rigor, Lynn Caporale describes the emergence of genomic mutations strategies, spelling out some of the more profound implications of these findings, including the possibility of bold new directions for medical research, and the inherent dangers of attempting to fix perceived "errors" in a human genome, all the while stressing the importance of human diversity - and biodiversity - for survival in a world in which each of us shares 99.97% of our DNA with every "perfect stranger" on Earth."--BOOK JACKET.
