Life's greatest secret : the race to crack the genetic code / by Cobb, Matthew,author.(CARDINAL)476608;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 323-404) and index.Genes before DNA -- Information is everywhere -- The transformation of genes -- A slow revolution -- The age of control -- The double helix -- Genetic information -- The central dogma -- Enzyme cybernetics -- Enter the outsiders -- The race -- Update -- Surprises and sequences -- The central dogma revisited -- Brave new world -- Origins and meanings.The story of the discovery and cracking of the genetic code, the thing that ultimately enables a spiraling molecule to give rise to the life that exists all around us."Everyone has heard of the story of DNA as the story of Watson and Crick and Rosalind Franklin, but knowing the structure of DNA was only a part of a greater struggle to understand life's secrets. Life's Greatest Secret is the story of the discovery and cracking of the genetic code, the thing that ultimately enables a spiraling molecule to give rise to the life that exists all around us. This great scientific breakthrough has had far-reaching consequences for how we understand ourselves and our place in the natural world, and for how we might take control of our (and life's) future. Life's Greatest Secret mixes remarkable insights, theoretical dead-ends, and ingenious experiments with the swift pace of a thriller. From New York to Paris, Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Cambridge, England, and London to Moscow, the greatest discovery of twentieth-century biology was truly a global feat. Biologist and historian of science Matthew Cobb gives the full and rich account of the cooperation and competition between the eccentric characters--mathematicians, physicists, information theorists, and biologists--who contributed to this revolutionary new science. And, while every new discovery was a leap forward for science, Cobb shows how every new answer inevitably led to new questions that were at least as difficult to answer: just ask anyone who had hoped that the successful completion of the Human Genome Project was going to truly yield the book of life, or that a better understanding of epigenetics or "junk DNA" was going to be the final piece of the puzzle. But the setbacks and unexpected discoveries are what make the science exciting, and it is Matthew Cobb's telling that makes them worth reading. This is a riveting story of humans exploring what it is that makes us human and how the world works, and it is essential reading for anyone who'd like to explore those questions for themselves." -- Publisher's description

What we have : a memoir / by Boesky, Amy.(CARDINAL)395014;
Seize the day -- What we knew -- Emily -- Ninth month -- Birthday (I) -- Help (I) -- First Christmas -- Going back (I) -- The interview -- The house with the green shag carpet -- Self-exam -- Turning over -- Two calendars -- F-U -- What we always did -- Help (II) -- Words for things (I) -- Birthday (II) -- Drawbridge -- Going back (II) -- The moon ring -- Safe as houses -- Words for things (II) -- What we know (now).At 32, Amy Boesky thought she had it all figured out: a wonderful new man in her life, a great job, and the (nearly) perfect home. For once, she was almost able to shake the terrible fear that had gripped her for as long as she could remember. Women in her family had always died young--from cancer--and she and her sisters had grown up in time's shadow. It colored every choice they made and was beginning to come to a head as they approached 35--the deadline their doctors prescribed for having preventive surgery. But Amy didn't want to dwell on that now. She wanted to plan for a new baby, live her life. And with the appreciation for life's smallest pleasures, she did just that. Here, Amy shares a transformative year in her family's life and invites readers to join in their joy, laughter, and grief.--From publisher description.

Change agent : a novel / by Suarez, Daniel,1964-author.(CARDINAL)493754;
"On a crowded train platform, Interpol agent Kenneth Durand feels the sting of a needle-- and his transformation begins. In 2045 Kenneth Durand leads Interpol's most effective team against genetic crime, hunting down black market labs that perform "vanity edits" on human embryos for a price. These illegal procedures augment embryos in ways that are rapidly accelerating human evolution--preying on human-trafficking victims to experiment and advance their technology. With the worlds of genetic crime and human trafficking converging, Durand and his fellow Interpol agents discover that one figure looms behind it all: Marcus Demang Wyckes, leader of a powerful and sophisticated cartel known as the Huli jing. But the Huli jing have identified Durand, too. After being forcibly dosed with a radical new change agent, Durand wakes from a coma weeks later to find he's been genetically transformed into someone else--his most wanted suspect: Wyckes. Now a fugitive, pursued through the genetic underworld by his former colleagues and the police, Durand is determined to restore his original DNA by locating the source of the mysterious--and highly valuable--change agent. But Durand hasn't anticipated just how difficult locating his enemy will be. With the technology to genetically edit the living, Wyckes and his Huli jing could be anyone and everyone--and they have plans to undermine identity itself"--

Younger : a breakthrough program to reset your genes, reverse aging, and turn back the clock 10 years / by Gottfried, Sara Szal,author.(CARDINAL)401994;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 316-342) and index.Introduction: Women, aging, and genetics -- Unlock your genes -- The gene/lifestyle conversation -- Epigenetics: Turning genes on and off -- Get to the root -- Feed: Week 1 -- Sleep: Week 2 -- Move: Week 3 -- Release: Week 4 -- Expose: Week 5 -- Soothe: Week 6 -- Think: Week 7 -- Integrate -- Recipes.Feel destined for cellulite, saddle bags, and belly fat? Does your family come from a long line of Alzheimer's, cancer, or heart disease? Will nothing help your aging skin or declining libido or flagging energy? The body is magnificent but it doesn't come with a lifetime warranty or an operating manual. You're the result of millions of years of evolution, but many of the adaptations that helped your ancestors survive are now working overtime to accelerate the aging process. The assumption here is that we are our genes and therefore trapped by the past. The good news is that your genetic code can play a minor role in the way you age. The reality is that 90 percent of the signs of aging and disease are caused by lifestyle choices, not your genes. In other words, you have the capability to overcome and transform your genetic history and tendencies. Physician Sara Gottfried has created a 7-week program that empowers us to make the critical choices necessary to not just look young, but also feel young. Dr. Gottfried builds this book around five key factors that lead to accelerated aging -- the muscle factor, the brain factor, the hormone factor, the gut factor, and the toxic fat factor.

Darwin contagion / by Browning, Walt,1958-author.(CARDINAL)626885;
Mankind's dominance has come to an end. When a terrorist group detonates a small nuclear device at a level four biohazard facility, it releases the infection vectors stored within and creates a contagion that devastates the planet. Entire species are wiped out, while those that survive are genetically transformed into prehistoric mutations of their former self. Secret Service agent Alex Durham is assigned to protect the president. As the dangers of the expanding nuclear fallout become apparent, he accompanies the country's leadership as they seek shelter from the impending contagion. When they emerge weeks later, the global aftermath of the terrorist attack leaves the survivors struggling to find safety in a world that has regressed millions of years. Creatures from the past and those newly created rise to challenge mankind's dominance. All that matters now is survival.
