Key Features

- by Dawn Field, Neil Davies
- The living world runs on genomic software - what Dawn Field and Neil Davies call the 'biocode' - the sum of all DNA on Earth
- In Biocode, they tell the story of a new age of scientific discovery: the growing global effort to read and map the biocode, and what that might mean for the future
- The structure of DNA was identified in 1953, and the whole human genome was mapped by 2003
- Since then the new field of genomics has mushroomed and is now operating on an industrial scale
- Genomes can now be sequenced rapidly and increasingly cheaply
- The genomes of large numbers of organisms from mammals to microbes, have been mapped
