Break the DNA. Genome editing and the control of evolution

The book reveals the fascinating story of the invention of CRISPR technology, which changes the genetic code of living organisms, including humans. The book will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in science, biotechnology, and genetic engineering.

The authors, Jennifer Dudna and Samuel Sternberg , are renowned biochemists and scientists who invented CRISPR technology. In the book, they talk about the potential of this technology for disease prevention, restoration of extinct species and other applications, and also consider the ethical aspects of its use.

Jennifer Doudna is a professor of structural biology and biochemistry at the University of California, and a Nobel Prize laureate for the development of a method of genome editing. Samuel Sternberg is a professor of biochemistry and molecular biophysics and is known for his research in the field of CRISPR.

The book shows the potential and risks of using genetic engineering and provides readers with a deep understanding of this exciting and promising field of science.
