When Jennifer Doudna was a sixth grader in Hilo Hawaii she came home from school one afternoon and found a book on her bed. It was The Double Helix James Watson's account of how he and Francis Crick had discovered the structure of DN a the spiral - staircase molecule that carries the genetic instruction code for all forms of life. This book guided Jennifer Doudna to focus her studies not on DN a but on what seemed to take a backseat in biochemistry: figuring out the structure of RN a a closely related molecule that enables the genetic instructions coded in DN a to express themselves. Doudna became an expert in determining the shapes and structures of these RN a molecules an expertise that led her to develop a revolutionary new technique that could edit human genes. Today gene - editing technologies such as Crispr are already being used to eliminate simple genetic defects that cause disorders such as Tay - Sachs and sickle cell anemia. For now however Jennifer and her team are being deployed against our most immediate threat the coronavirus and you have just been given a front row seat to that race.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Code Breaker - - Young Readers Edition Jennifer Doudna And The Race To Understand Our Genetic Code\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Isaacson Walter\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781665910675\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 336 Pages, F-C Cvr (Spfx: 2 Pms Colors)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 3\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Evolution","brand":"Isaacson Walter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49622842966321,"sku":"IN-G-9781665910675","price":10.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781665910675.jpg?v=1724729861","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781665910675-the-code-breaker-young-readers-edition-jennifer-doudna-and-the-race-to-understand-our-genetic-code","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
