A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived

The Stories in Our Genes

Debating the use of genomic tools and their societal impactOver the past decade, the field of human genetics has produced an extraordinary range of discoveries-including the refinement of polygenic scores, which use a person's DNA to estimate their likelihood of developing a trait or disease. But are these new technologies ready to leave the research lab and be deployed in schools, fertility clinics, and the wider world? In What We Inherit, Sam Trejo and Daphne Martschenko offer different perspectives on the societal impact of the rapidly unfolding DNA revolution. Trejo, a sociologist and expert on the complex ways people's genes influence their life's trajectory, believes that new genomic tools-if used thoughtfully-can improve society; Martschenko, a bioethicist who specializes in the thorny social issues raised by biomedical advances, is more cautious. They debate both the risks and the opportunities posed by such new technologies as at-home genetic tests and polygenic embryo selection-all while engaging in a wide-ranging dialogue on ideology, biology, and social inequality. While grappling with these new technologies, Trejo and Martschenko remind us that we inherited from our ancestors not only DNA but also wrong-headed ideas about genes. Together, they caution against two particularly harmful genetic myths: that genes determine an individual's future, and that race and genetics are inherently connected. A polygenic score, for example, is not a definitive marker for disease. And race is a sociopolitical construct, not a biological identity. Trejo and Martschenko argue that, to avoid exacerbating social inequality, we need to begin regulating genomic tools sooner rather than later.

Oxford Biology Primers

The Molecular Biology of RNA gives a comprehensive overview of the rapidly expanding field of RNA biology, distilled into an accessible and compact primer. It covers the key discoveries and pioneers of the field, as well as providing students with an understanding of its biotechnical and biomedical applications of. Key features: - Oxford Biology Primers are the only resource to introduce prospective and current students of undergraduate-level bioscience to a range of topics from this dynamic experimental science, enticing readers to study further. - Its titles directly support two key transitions in the student journey: from school to undergraduate-level study, and from undergraduate to independent researcher. - Its modular format offers a high degree of flexibility, with teachers being able to draw on specific volumes that augment the post-16 curriculum and university lecturers being able to draw on specific volumes at different stages of the undergraduate curriculum. - All titles in the series are available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats: the e-book and Science Trove offer a mobile experience and convenient access along with functionality tools, navigation features, and links that offer extra learning support.

Cell Shape and Position during Development: Volume 166

Humans have always looked up at the sky and wondered. From ancient Babylonians tracking celestial objects on clay tablets to labs probing the subatomic realm, scientific inquiry has been driven by an innately human quest – a desire to understand, quite simply, where we fit in.&nbsp;A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE (and our place in it) tells the story of our search for meaning in a sprawling cosmic ocean. From ancient astrology to the Copernican revolution, from dark matter to our search for life outside of earth, it will take you on a journey through the discoveries that have propelled and continually overturned our understanding of the cosmos, the nature of reality, and ourselves. From a particle physicist at the forefront of cutting-edge research into the building blocks of the universe comes a spectacular celebration of our capacity for wonder. Written with clarity and simplicity, A BRIEF HISTORY tells you everything you need to know about the fundamentals of our universe, and our restless quest to understand our place in it.
