  This is an account of the race to find the complete genetic code which defines every human and determines the way we're put together. The book demonstrates how this task has occupied researchers, from Mendel in the 19th century, through to Watson and Crick's discovery of DNA and after. It also takes a careful look at the ethical quandaries that mankind will be faced with once the research is complete.
