Book
The gene : an intimate history / Siddhartha Mukherjee.
"The Gene illuminates the quest to decipher the master-code of instructions that makes and defines humans; that governs our form, function, and fate; and that determines the future of our children. Woven through is the story of Mukherjee's own family and its recurring pattern of schizophrenia, a huanting reminder that the science of genetics is not confined to the laboratory but is vitally relevant to everyday lives"--from book jacket.
