Genome sequencing is one of the most exciting scientific
breakthroughs of the past thirty years. But what precisely does it
involve and how is it developing? In this brilliantly wide-ranging,
one-stop guide WIRED journalist Rachael Pells explains the science
behind genomics. She analyses its practical applications in medical
diagnosis and the treatment of conditions that range from cancer to
severe allergic reactions to cystic fibrosis. She considers its
potential to help with advances in agriculture and environmental
science. She explores the ethics of genetic modification and the
dangers involved when humans 'play God'. And she addresses the
fundamental question: to what extent will future advances transform
human longevity and the quality of life.
