Reviews
Dennis and Gallagher, both editors of Nature, have pulled together a concise overview of the basics of DNA, genetics, and the Human Genome Project (including some historical context) to help the lay reader understand the human genome. The first comprehensive survey and summary of the human genome sequence was published in the February 15, 2001, issue of Nature and makes up the second half of this book. A chapter on the project's history discusses research leading to Watson and Crick's 1953 DNA structure paper in Nature and continuing research that led to the Human Genome Project. The race with the Celera Genomics Group to map the genome is also mentioned. The explanation of the science behind the project is brief and concise but readable. There are sections on how the sequence can be used and on the ethics of using the information contained in our cells, as well as some cautions about what we really know at this time. One interesting section contains quotes about the human genome. Recommended for public libraries. Margaret Henderson, Cold Spring Harbor Lab. Lib., NY
