What are genes? What do genes do? These questions are not simple
and straightforward to answer; at the same time, simplistic answers
are quite prevalent and are taken for granted. This book aims to
explain the origin of the gene concept, its various meanings both
within and outside science, as well as to debunk the intuitive view
of the existence of 'genes for' characteristics and disease.
Drawing on contemporary research in genetics and genomics, as well
as on ideas from history of science, philosophy of science,
psychology and science education, it explains what genes are and
what they can and cannot do. By presenting complex concepts and
research in a comprehensible and rigorous manner, it examines the
potential impact of research in genetics and genomics and how
important genes actually are for our lives. Understanding Genes is
an accessible and engaging introduction to genes for any interested
reader.
