Making Sense of Genes, 1ed

What are genes? What do genes do? These seemingly simple questions are in fact challenging to answer accurately. As a result, there are widespread misunderstandings and over-simplistic answers, which lead to common conceptions widely portrayed in the media, such as the existence of a gene ‘for’ a particular characteristic or disease. In reality, the DNA we inherit interacts continuously with the environment and functions differently as we age. What our parents hand down to us is just the beginning of our life story. This comprehensive book analyses and explains the gene concept, combining philosophical, historical, psychological and educational perspectives with current research in genetics and genomics. It summarises what we currently know and do not know about genes and the potential impact of genetics on all our lives. Making Sense of Genes is an accessible but rigorous introduction to contemporary genetics concepts for non-experts, undergraduate students, teachers and healthcare professionals.

Review

‘… a wonderfully engaging and pedagogical explanation of difficult concepts in biology … Kampourakis has an incredible feeling for how to strike the balance between biological material and conceptual analysis. … If you are teaching life sciences or engaging in any form of public outreach, this book is a must-read.’ Tobias Uller, Frontiers in Genetics
‘… this book addresses the crucial educational and translational science bottlenecks of postgenomics, and delivers on its promise to the readers to move beyond the gene sequence to broader sense making for human genetics and genomics.’ George P. Patrinos, OMICS: A Journal of Integrative Biology
‘Kampourakis describes concisely how the late 20th century saw a revision in our view of what a gene really is. … [He] comes down hard on the hype surrounding ‘decoding the book of life’, as well as [those] who did not understand the relationship between DNA sequences and complex characters. … [the book] provides a useful companion to biology undergraduates and the interested layperson will find it informative in its critique of naïve genetic determinism. I would certainly recommend it.’ Charalambos P. Kyriacou, BioEssays
