James D. Watson Libros

El cambio del siglo xx al xxi se hallará ya para siempre vinculado al desciframiento definitivo del mapa genético humano, hecho que abre un nuevo mundo en el campo de la ciencia y, muy especialmente, en el de la medicina. ¿Cómo se produjo, sin embargo, el descubrimiento básico el de la estructura del ácido desoxirribonucleico (ADN), componente esencial del material genético que ha hecho posible llegar hasta este punto? La doble hélice es el relato del proceso que llevó a este instante crucial, hecho de primera mano por James D. Watson, protagonista del mismo en 1953 junto con el británico Francis Crick. Como apunta Steve Jones en el prefacio que abre el volumen, «leer este libro es entender cómo debió de ser participar en lo que Watson, con aplastante sinceridad, denomina el acontecimiento más famoso en la biología desde el libro de Darwin».

Como la cantidad de información en Biología se expande cada vez más, se hace cada vez más necesario que los libros de texto reflejen el vasto conocimiento científico en concisos principios y conceptos duraderos. Como en ediciones anteriores, Biología Molecular de la Célula 6ª edición, cumple este objetivo con un texto claro y excelente puesta al día con las últimas investigaciones en el campo de la biología celular y proporciona un sólido apoyo tanto al profesor como al estudiante.

In his 1968 memoir, The Double Helix (Readers Union, 1969), the brash young scientist James Watson chronicled the drama of the race to identify the structure of DNA, a discovery that would usher in the era of modern molecular biology. After half a century, the implications of the double helix keep rippling outward; the tools of molecular biology have forever transformed the life sciences and medicine. The Annotated and Illustrated Double Helix adds new richness to the account of the momentous events that led the charge.

James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA and author of the international bestseller "The Double Helix" tells the story of the amazing molecule since its discovery fifty years ago, following modern genetics from his own Nobel prize-winning work in the fifties to today's Dolly the sheep, designer babies and GM foods. Professor Watson introduces the science of modern genetics, along with its history and its implications, in this magnificent guide to one of the most triumphant achievements of human science.
