Where did our search to understand life come from? And where will it take us? In Life at the Speed of Light, J. Craig Venter examines the emergent field of synthetic genomics, its origins, current challenges, and the projected impact on our lives. The book invites readers to ponder what we mean by life and how far we might go in shaping biological systems to aid long-term survival, health, clean water and food production, and environmental management.
The volume recounts the milestone of creating the world’s first synthetic lifeform around 2010 and explains how such breakthroughs place humankind at the dawn of a new era in biological engineering. It presents a detailed inside look at the science, its ambitions, and the controversies that accompany rapid advances in genetic design and manipulation, all through the lens of Venter and his team.
Pagina's: 200. Editie: Eerste editie, Hardcover, Princeton University Press.
