About the Book
Written for both professionals and curious lay readers, "Unraveling DNA" is the definitive guide to understanding DNA: its history, how it works, as well as the latest findings, including recent advances in cancer and AIDS cures.Book Synopsis
With elegant simplicity, Maxim D. Frank-Kamenetskii elucidates the essential history and inner workings of DNA-a tiny molecule that holds within it the deepest mysteries of life.
