  • 生物駭客?基因啟迪時代來臨,DNA也可以被編輯

    本書以基因為主軸,分為五大章節,在第一章(導言)中,作者說明本書將以局外人的視角,來探索神秘而廣闊的基因組學領域:  基因組學是一門很酷炫的科學,一方面,它可以對人類及其所處的世界給出很多解釋,可以提供拯救生命和改善生活的工具;另一方面,它也可能會讓我們覺得與自己所處的世界漸行漸遠。  第二章(基因外傳)中,作者假想了一些基因編輯的實際例子,儘管基因編輯嬰兒在現代仍是非法的──電影中錯誤的編輯會帶來超能力,現實卻可能產生癌症和其他疾病──但隨著科技進步,作者相信這些假想中有一日會成為現實。  第三章(基因紀聞)中,作者模仿羅馬帝國時期的每日通知,舉例一篇篇與基因相關的簡短故事及對基因組學新聞的評論,人類基因組堪比一部言情小說史,基因的重組、再造都與民族的融合脫離不了關係,雖然,現代人也喜歡用種族劃分群體,譬如一些人認定自身人種具備更加優良的基因,能繁衍出資質較好的後代等等。  第四章 ...

  • 基因社會:從單一個體到群體研究,破解基因的互動關係與人體奧妙之謎

    Translated by 潘震澤 ...
    Series series beyond
    接軌生醫科技大未來必讀入門基礎之作!  繼《自私的基因》,新一代科普典範  破解基因與基因之間、基因與環境之間的對話內涵  ◎基因不是個體,基因是一個社會  過去四十年來,基因研究有了重大的突破。以往,遺傳學從研究單一或個位數基因的功能入手。現在,研究者卻發現,必須全盤地考量整個基因體的上萬個基因,如何來為我們人體打造出各種組織器官,甚至產生複雜的人類行為,才能解開基因之謎。這就像是發現基因是一個社會,理解社會中的經濟現象必須從宏觀的角度,使用更大量的資料來進行統計模擬,而不能只考量單個人的經濟行為。  《基因社會》是以全新的思維,重新建構我們對人體、對遺傳學的認知。  以基因社會的觀點,更能解釋:  人為什麼會得癌症?  人為什麼採取有性繁殖?  假如不同人種的基因差異很小,為什麼彼此不能和平相處?  人類和猩猩是怎麼演化成不同物種的?  人類的語言從何而來?  我們為什麼沒有進化出飛. ...
