Book Title: The Gene: An Intimate History
Author: Siddhartha Mukherjee
Selection Statement:
I read this book for the first time while preparing to teach Introduction to Genetic Analysis at Penn State Berks. It is filled with wonderful stories that I retell my class and communicates the journey from Mendel to CRISPR-Cas9 in an accessible manner. I often recommend this book to my students and, on numerous occasions, have lent out my copy (filled with protruding sticky notes and margin notes). I hope this book continues to inspire budding geneticists for years to come!
