Chemistry and the human
genome
On 15 February 2001, two groups of
scientists published a draft that described the complete chemical makeup of
human genes - the human genome as it is often called. The discovery of the
sequence of the human genome has been hailed as one of the most important
scientific advances ever. This would not have been possible without the work of
chemists and chemical scientists. This book aims to show students and teachers
the chemical science behind the discovery at a level suitable for post-16
students of chemistry and biology and also to place it in the context of
science in the 21st century.
