In 2010, scientists led by J. Craig Venter became the first to successfully create 'synthetic life' -- putting humankind at the threshold of the most important and exciting phase of biological research, one that will enable us to actually write the genetic code for designing new species to help us adapt and evolve for long-term survival. The science of synthetic genomics will have a profound impact on human existence, including chemical and energy generation, health, clean water and food production, environmental control, and possibly even our evolution. In Life at the Speed of Light, Venter presents a fascinating and authoritative study of this emerging field from the inside -- detailing its origins, current challenges and controversies, and projected effects on our lives. This scientific frontier provides an opportunity to ponder anew the age-old question 'What is life?' and examine what we really mean by 'playing God'. Life at the Speed of Light is a landmark work, written by a visionary at the dawn of a new era of biological engineering.
J. CRAIG VENTER is best known for sequencing the human genome. He is the founder, chairman, and CEO of the J. Craig Venter Institute, a not-for-profit research organization dedicated to genomic research. He is also the founder and CEO of Synthetic Genomics, Inc., as well as the author of A LIFE DECODED. He is the recipient of numerous awards and honorary degrees, including the 2008 United States National Medal of Science, and twice been named one Time's 100 most influential people.

大概是2007年,我用电子词典的电子书功能读完了中译本的The Double Helix。如果我最早对学术界有什么印象,大概重要的来源就是这本书(其实还有《围城》)。是2010年,我买了本王镜岩生化第三版,从此开始接触真正的生命科学。但直到2013年下半年,我开始上Emory的IBS555课,才...
评分2013年4月,一封家书以530万美元的价格拍卖,成为史上最昂贵的书信。这是弗朗西斯•克里克于1953年3月19日写的:“我亲爱的儿子:詹姆斯•沃森和我可能做出了一项最重要的发现。我们建立了脱氧核糖核酸(仔细念)——简称DNA的结构模型。你也许记得,携带遗传因素的染...
评分我爹强烈安利给我的这本书。。他告我“这书是上帝写的”。。[捂脸] 我爹他喜欢这本书到了什么程度呢,光是我知道的,算上电子版家里就屯了4本不同版本这本书。。(这几本是我爹日常用的,我怀疑还存在几本是收藏用和展示用的)。去年还找作者他老人家给我要了签名。。 (当时我内...
