Why Dna?

From DNA Sequence to Biological Complexity

Beschreibung

Describes how the physical chemistry of the DNA molecule links biological complexity, information flux and evolution to energy. Revisits Schrà dinger's What is Life? published before the structure of DNA was known, and examines Schrà dinger's ideas in the context of our current biological understanding.

Autor

Andrew Travers is an Emeritus Scientist at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (MRC LMB) and a Visiting Scientist in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on the use of the genetics and biochemistry of bacteria and Drosophila to study the mechanisms of chromatin folding and unfolding.
