Publisher's Summary:

NOTE: This audiobook is in Portuguese.

This audiobook explains what DNA is and how this substance determines the characteristic of human beings, going through Mendel's first discoveries in the genetic field and on to Watson and Crick, Nirenberg and Cohen, and Boyer's studies of DNA, proteins, and RDNA. It offers a vision about the future of genome research and biotechnology, in clear and direct language.Original Portuguese description:

Faz apenas seis decadas desde que Avery identificou o DNA como a substancia do mecanismo de hereditariedade, cinco desde que a estrutura do DNA foi desvendada por Watson e Crick, quatro desde que Nirenberg comprovou a relac?o entre bases de DNA e aminoacidos nas proteinas e so tres desde que Cohen e Boyer descobriram como cortar e mover pedacos de DNA pelo genoma, dando origem a engenharia genetica.A complexidade do assunto e enorme, o que n?o impede muita gente de acreditar que os genes equivalem a uma especie de destino, controlavel com a biotecnologia. Em linguagem acessivel, este livro mostra que a crenca e correta e, ao mesmo tempo, despropositada. A engenharia genetica pode, sim, produzir efeitos espantosos sobre seres vivos, mas nem por isso se encontra na posic?o de lhes ditar o comportamento. Marcelo Leite e editor de Ciencia da Folha de S.Paulo e autor de Os Alimentos Transgenicos e A Floresta Amazonica (serie "Folha Explica").
