Author Description

You might have questions about items in the news or social media regarding new findings or capabilities in genetics and more specifically DNA. This book answers many of these questions by describing the methods used by researchers to make DNA 'speak' to us. What can DNA tell us about ourselves, our ancestors, common and rare diseases, our relationship to prehistoric humans, and futures? The explanations are intended for a general audience without background in genetics or, even, science. Just bring curiosity and a willingness to ponder the wonder of this simple molecule that has so much power in making us who we are.
