图书描述

The bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs returns with a gripping account of how Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues launched a revolution that will allow us to cure diseases, fend off viruses, and have healthier babies.

When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had left a paperback titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved. When she read it on a rainy Saturday, she discovered she was right, in a way. As she sped through the pages, she became enthralled by the intense drama behind the competition to discover the code of life. Even though her high school counselor told her girls didn’t become scientists, she decided she would.

Driven by a passion to understand how nature works and to turn discoveries into inventions, she would help to make what the book’s author, James Watson, told her was the most important biological advance since his co-discovery of the structure of DNA. She and her collaborators turned a curiosity of nature into an invention that will transform the human race: an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as CRISPR, it opened a brave new world of medical miracles and moral questions.

The development of CRISPR and the race to create vaccines for coronavirus will hasten our transition to the next great innovation revolution. The past half-century has been a digital age, based on the microchip, computer, and internet. Now we are entering a life-science revolution. Children who study digital coding will be joined by those who study genetic code.

Should we use our new evolution-hacking powers to make us less susceptible to viruses? What a wonderful boon that would be! And what about preventing depression? Hmmm…Should we allow parents, if they can afford it, to enhance the height or muscles or IQ of their kids?

After helping to discover CRISPR, Doudna became a leader in wrestling with these moral issues and, with her collaborator Emmanuelle Charpentier, won the Nobel Prize in 2020. Her story is a thrilling detective tale that involves the most profound wonders of nature, from the origins of life to the future of our species.

感觉看了一部宫斗剧?

评分

真是一本一言难尽的书,有点不伦不类的。如果是个传记,那么这是我读过的最失败的传记了,读之前对女主充满了崇拜,读完了几乎好感全无,觉得她好胜心过强。这本书是开始介绍珍妮弗·道德纳的背景求学经历以及如何开始研究RNA ,然后变成了一本CRISPR 科普,又陆续介绍了一群对CRISPR有贡献的科学家,然后开始八卦道德纳和张的CRISPR 专利战,然后又开始讨论基因改造的道德性,然后聊了聊RNA和新冠,最后以得诺贝尔奖结束。其实与其写成传记,不如学成一部纪实文学,从各方面客观的去讲述基因改造的发展更好一些。 让我想八卦的地方是,作者至少在2019年就开始参加一些活动了,应该是在最迟2019就开始着手这本书,那么后来的诺贝尔和新冠只是巧合的话,作者也太好运了。

挺好看的,实效性很强,跟covid联系很紧密。最喜欢看这种众人拾柴火焰高,每个人的研究都为某个成功的发现奠定基石的故事。所以其实叫code breakers确实更合适,很喜欢Doudna和Charpentier这种微妙的情感,既是合作者又有点小竞争的感觉。中间有段讲gene editing的好处和坏处觉得有点离题,好在后面又拉回来了

should be the code breakers. 一开始是抱着Bill Gates 推荐过所以想看,不得不说有点失望。但是看到Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation 资助了以后就也没那么意外了。

读后感

评分

作者以2020年诺贝尔化学奖得主Jennifer Doudna为主线,讲解了基因编辑技术的发展过程,以及对当下和未来的影响,并将众多研究者饱满地呈现出来。科学知识与人物故事交织在一起,非常精彩的一本书。 作者从19世纪的达尔文和孟德尔,讲到DNA结构被发现,再到人类基因组计划。众多...

1、 根据我目前的认知,大部分生命活动的调控是精细而复杂的,并非敲除或改变一段序列就能产生显著效果。生命系统的复杂性也预示任意改造一段序列可能会有意外后果。此外,脱靶效应也会限制基因编辑技术的人体应用。所以,大规模的基因设计短时期内还只是个愿景,但早早开始考...
